This morning I woke up to find that Google had changed its fun multicoloured logo to green and brown peas... Oh dear!!!
I came across something like this before... I mean, not the peas but definitely Google changed into something that was relating to a special event happening in the world.
Today's peas are dedicated to celebrate the 189th anniversary of Gregor Mendel's birth, the man who is considered the father of genetics.
If you are wondering why peas, it's because he did base pretty much all of his researc

h on pea plants... Yes, he was a "pea meister"!
His work wasn't really recognised and duly appreciated until after his death.
"meine Zeit wird schon kommen" (my time will come) he said... And today we can definitely say that it has come!
But far from happy about this discovery I decided to look into finding out why and who changes the Google Logo (or Goodle doodle, as it's more affectionately know) and discovered that the reason behind this frequent change is to commemorate a special event or person.
And who makes the drawing?
Well, some of them are made by Google's artists. People hired to complete this job, creative minds that are given a task. But some, are made by children!
Google holds a yearly competition called "Doodle 4 Google" where children are asked to create these fun filled logos using their imagination. The 2011's theme was "something I'd love to do" and the kids had an amazing time coming up with fantastic drawings!

This is the drawing that won the competition this year:
In my opinion, some of them are even a lot better than the people who are actually paid to draw!
Have a look at this... I find it wonderful!!!
