Happy Earth Day, Google!

Happy Earth Day 2013! While you’re all being especially green today, do yourself a favor and head over to Google‘s homepage to see their interactive logo for the day. Google has presented us with a beautiful landscape that goes through the changing of the seasons. As the sun moves westward and the moon goes through it’s phases, the seasons pass, showing us different days starting with spring going slowly into summer, fall, and winter.

Google has always been fast in representing holidays on their homepage’s logo. I still get excited each day I open the page to something new. The designers like to change up the style of animation and make things exciting and interactive. My favorite part about this particular scene is the way they managed to smoothly design “Google” into the hills, mountain, and river across the landscape. The flow of the logo really provides for a great interactive illustration!
