Google celebrate Olympics with London 2012 Doodle
Google have marked the opening day of the London 2012 Olympics this morning with a sport themed Google Doodle on their landing page.
It’s become something of a tradition for Google to mark key birthdays or world events with a cartoon incorporating their logo, and today is no different. Though the games have technically already kicked off (no pun intended) with the early start of the football to allow a rest between matches, tonight’s £27 opening ceremony extravaganza, directed by much-loved Brit director Danny Boyle, is the official start.
We’d have loved to have seen a little more interactivity in the Doodle to mark the occasion though, as clicking it merely opens a “opening ceremony london 2012” search.
