Grandparents Day 2015 (Spain, Portugal)
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Happy Grandparent’s Day to all the grandmothers and grandfathers out there! Today’s two companion Doodles celebrate the special relationships we have across generations. Doodler Olivia When started conceptualizing them by first thinking about moments that happen between grandparents and grandkids. She chose fishing for one Doodle and feeding ducks for the other, because both activities convey a sense of fun and togetherness. Plus, as she said, “how often is there an opportunity to use ducks to make the Google logo?”.
You’ll see one of the Doodles when you first visit the homepage, but you can refresh the page for a chance to check out the other. See if you can spot which little creature tagged along to both outings. And don’t forget to call your grandma or grandpa!
