http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/g ... oodle.html for more information.
Depending on timezone your local Google might still have it in the logo, it's gone here in Australia but it is still on the UK Google
http://www.google.co.uk/
It's no simple algorithm to do what it does (spin depending on how you move it with your cursor from the mouse)...
Code: Select all
<script>(function(){var a=true,c=false; try{if(!google.doodle)google.doodle={};var aa=-1/14,ba=Math.PI/180,d=(1+Math.sqrt(5))/2,e=1/3,k=2/3,l=d/3,n=2*l,o=[[-k,-e-n,-l],[-e,-k-l,-n],[e,-k-l,-n],[k,-e-n,-l],[e,-d,0],[-e,-d,0],[-l,-k,-e-n],[-n,-e,-k-l],[-e-n,-l,-k],[-k-l,-n,-e],[-k,-e-n,l],[-e,-k-l,n],[e,-k-l,n] etc etc ......

Google homepage today is just.... nuts! Very clever. Move your cursor towards "Google" (made up of coloured balls) and you "push" all the balls away!

Google are becoming really sophisticated with their logo, the John Lennon one is an embedded Youtube video if you click the play button.
