Google’s Doodle 4: Vote for Your Fave Student Logo!

May 12, 2008

“What if We Could All Be Friends?” by Jordan Perry (k thru 3rd grade group)

If you use Google as your homepage like I do, then you get to enjoy the different “special occasion” Google logos. Each year for the past 4 years, Google has had a competition for school age kids to design a Google logo around a theme. This year, the theme is “What if…?”

“What if Fish Could Think?” by Michael Mendenhall (grades 4-6)

Over 16,000 kids entered a logo, and now the public can vote on the 40 finalists, evenly divided by age group. The national winner will be displayed on the Google homepage on May 22. In addition to the prestige of having their artwork chosen to be nationally displayed, the National Winner will win a $10,000 college scholarship to be used at the school of their choice, a trip to the Googleplex, a laptop computer, and a t-shirt printed with their doodle.  Google will also award the winner’s school a $25,000 grant towards the establishment/improvement of a computer lab. The other 3 National Finalists will win a trip to the Googleplex, a laptop computer, and a t-shirt printed with their doodle.

“What if the Google Logo had a Gothic Twist?” by Paul Massicott (grades 10-12)

Go to the Doodle 4 section of Google to see all 40 finalists and vote for your favorites.
