A visit to Google this morning reveals a new Google Doodle – a tribute to John Lennon on what would have been his 70th birthday.
But today’s Doodle, (Google’s nickname for their holiday logos), includes a little extra surprise. When you click on the Doodle itself, a short audio clip from Lennon’s haunting ballad Imagine plays, accompanied by an animation sequence inspired by the music.
The Doodle itself incorporates the famous self-portrait hand drawn by Lennon from the ‘Bag One Portfolio’, an artistic chronicle of his wedding ceremony to Yoko Ono, their honeymoon and their plea for world peace.
After the animation clip plays, the Doodle morphs into a drawn style and then you are naturally redirected to search results for “John Lennon”.
A fitting tribute and much more inspiring than some of the more recent Doodles being churned out from Mountain View.
Nicely done Google.
I was pleased to see the doodle in place for John Lennon who would have reached there 70th Birthday… I respect and rate him with other peace makers gone but not forgotten for there good works such as Martin Luther, Gandhi & Nelson Mandela (to mention a few).
wooww.. i haven’t seen it
Yeah, those things are cute.
I really just ignore and proceed with my search and now that you’ve mentioned, I really should see it. ?
