Google Doodle mystery for today is crop circles

Today Google has decided to celebrate a famous person’s birthday by adding a new Google Doodle. The Google Doodle is crop circles. Clicking on the Google logo will take you to the search results for this term.

Just like the previous logo on September 5, Google has decided to tweet and change their logo and add another UFO image on it again. All we know is that they want us to figure out what it is that they are trying to tell us in the logo. The hints posted on the Korea blog include: mystery, transparency, and novel.

Can you figure out the mystery behind Google’s logo? If not then you might just find out when Google reveals their third and final logo (according to the Google Korea blog).

Crop Circles logo appears on Google homepage

Google has changed the logo on their homepage once again. It is now featuring a logo linking to search results for Crop Circles. The Google logo also has all circles in every letter, except for the letter “l”.

The URL of the image points to http://www.google.com/logos/goog_e.gif with a missing “l”. Last time Google’s logo linked to results for “unexplained phenomenon” and their logo and URL both had an “O” missing. A post in the Google Korea Blog says that their will be 3 logos total to celebrate a famous person. The Crop Circles is the second logo.

The hints posted on the Google Korea blog included: “mystery, transparency, and novel”. Which famous person is Google celebrating with their logos? If you’ve figured anything out, feel free to share with us in the comments.

Unexplained Phenomenon UFO Mystery solved!

Today Google linked to search results for Unexplained Phenomenon, and they even posted a twitter message with a cryptic message: “All your O are belong to us”. Hans posted it on QuickPWN earlier, but we didn’t know why Google had this logo on their front page. Some people thought it was because of the District 9 movie, but that’s not true.

After doing some further research, I’ve figured out that Google is doing this because today is the Exeter UFO Festival in New Hampshire. There is no need to create any silly stories or jump to any conclusions. Google loves to celebrate special days by creating custom logos, called Google Doodle logos. Before this post, what did you think this Google logo was about?

Michael Jackson: 51st Birthday Today

Today is the 51st birthday of Michael Jackson. Google has created a logo on their main Google page to celebrate the birthday of the King of Pop. Happy birthday Michael Jackson!

Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest on June 25, and just yesterday his death was ruled as a homicide due to intoxication by anaesthetic. His remains were originally scheduled to be buried today at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale but it got rescheduled to be buried on September 3.

Just two days ago, Europe’s Broadcast company, RTL made a hoax video claiming that Michael Jackson was still alive. People started making up their own conspiracy theories, and some even believed it. RTL later admitted that it was a hoax in a press release.

Hans Christian Ørsted: Google Doodle

While I was browsing Google today I noticed Google had a new logo (also known as a Google Doodle) on their homepage. They made this logo to recognize the birthday of Hans Christian Ørsted. Ørsted was a physicist, chemist, and also a poet, but he was best known for his discovery of electromagnetism. If you want you can find out more about Hans Christian Ørsted you can go to the Google homepage and click the logo.

I wanted to make this post here to make a suggestion to Google (if anyone from Google is reading this). In the future, please make the Google Doodle logo’s available on the mobile versions of Google as well! I was visiting Google on my iPhone and the Google Doodle logo did not appear there. I had to view Google in “Classic” mode to see the logo.

Here is the Google logo for Hans Christian Ørsted, in case you miss it:

Update: Many people seem to be confusing Hans Christian Ørsted with Hans Christian Andersen. Ørsted is a scientist and Andersen is a novelist.
