Google balloon logo has no hidden message, it is just fun



Sometimes things are just for fun and that requires no special day, which seems to be the case of Google Logo today. A new interactive balloon design for web giant's homepage surely brought billion dollar smile on the face of billions of its users, if not any message. Google Doodle today is a collection of coloured balls that move away when you try to pass your mouse over them; however when left undisturbed, they 'settle' and reform the Google logo.

Google usually reveal these kind of logo on special occasions like to reflect historic dates, famous birthdays and other world events like FIFA world cup 2010 or PAC-MAN game birthday, but there seems to be no occasion or no hidden message, it is purely for fun. Usually, when a user clicks on the Doodle, the reason for the design is displayed as if you'd done a Google search for it, but today there is nothing like it.

A Google spokesman was contacted and he said, 'Today’s doodle is fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be.'

Some experts think that the design release almost coincides with what would be Google's 12th birthday and others believe that it is simply an exercise in HTML5 - the latest version of the standard programming code for displaying content on the web.

Whatever it is, the question is that why can't we just enjoy the things without looking for the reason of it. It could be a publicity stunt, however doesn't matter to me at least as I enjoyed the movement of balloons with the movement of mouse pointer.

    If I could only get rid of that unwanted "fun"
    Google again and again diverts from its former and much appreciated Spartan look and gets into absurd "fun" crap.

    Reason we can't "just enjoy the things" is because every other time in the past there was some reason behind it. We're looking for the reason and become frustrated by the lack of link. So we dig, and now we know.

    More like this please. Clearly we (I rested my pointer on the logo several times myself!) spend too much time seeking reasons for and answers to all of our daily encountered minutia. Instant gratification via internet isn't nearly as much fun! Or smart...

    I would buy that so that my google screen showed it as a default. It was the best thinking and de-stressing tool I have had for years! If anyone out there can convince Google to allow us to have it as a default, please do! My 3 year old son loved it!

    There are always enough reasons to bring joy for no reason.

    Great idea!This logo should be there every week.
