Millions of web surfers were amazed to see a new interactive doodle on Google’s homepage, looking like a set of colored balls that composed the logo of the search giant.
Google Logo today: The fun fact about the Google logo was that the balls reacted to the movement of the mouse, moving away from its path in a fluid movement.
It was a great way to showcase the power of JavaScript and HTML 5, both technologies used to create the particle effect.
However, acting all mysterious Google chose not to release any hints about their latest Google doodle, a move that quickly created a lot of buzz over the internet, from funny guesses to conspiracy theories.
Some say that the logo was released to celebrate Google’s anniversary, as they were first incorporated on September 7, in 1998. According to other theories, it was a homage to H.G. Wells or to JavaScript, which was first released on September in 1995.
