‘Tis the holiday season and Google has us feeling warm and fuzzy with its cute little doodles.
In its latest doodle, the search engine giant has started the Christmas countdown in full-swing with two little penguins getting into the holiday spirit and preparing to meet their parrot friends.
In three slides, the penguins begin by talking to their parrot friend who lives in a warmer region.
In the next illustration, they are seen packing their suitcases with clothes, cameras, maps and tinned fish in preparation of their trip down south. A little calendar, placed next to a photoframe of their friend, shows today’s date (that is 18 December) in this illustration.
The last slide has a photo frames of all the friends with gift boxes marked with dates of the upcoming holidays - 25 December, which is Christmas Day, 31 December, that is New Year’s Eve, and 1 January, which is New Year’s Day.
In Google Blog, the makers of the doodle have hinted for more such doodles. The said:
The festive season is here and this pair of slippery-footed siblings are excited to spend time with their warm-weather relatives! Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks to see what kind of fun this feathery family has in store.
The first Google Doodle was designed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in honour of the Burning Man festival in 1998. Subsequently, Google Doodles were designed by an outside contractor, but in 2000 a team of Google employees called Doodlers have taken charge of the Doodles department providing us with delightful animated works and illustrations to mark important days.
