    Doodle 4 Google: Google’s Logo Design Contest

    Design contests seem to occur frequently throughout the online graphic design community. We’ve had plenty of contests in the past even here. It seems now, the latest contest is sponsored by Google, in which they are offering the opportunity for kids to design a new twist on their ever changing logo. This is Google’s yearly event, which includes a theme. This year, the contest’s theme is “What I wish for the world.” The winner’s design will be posted on Google’s site for one day. Along with that honor, Google is also offering a monetary grant and scholarship as their top prize. The contest is called “Doodle 4 Google.” I have to admit, it’s quite a catchy name. The contest seems to be a great way to involve kids and to share a future graphic designer with the world. A group of artist’s renditions have already been picked, but now it is up to us to vote for the best ones to see which design makes its winning debut.

    It really is a fantastic opportunity and it’s nice to see Google using a small portion of its long running financial gain to support art and education. The concept of the global awareness also is good for kids to learn if they didn’t know it already. The theme itself forces them to think about how our world is “going green” and what the actual ideas are behind that. Kids may hear the expression and just think of it as a trend, but it’s important for them to know how the idea came about and what to do to improve our global situation.

      Interesting idea. Google is such a forward-thinking company, and I love that they are aware of the need to preserve our earth. On the other hand, aren’t they just trying to get free logos?
