I often wonder what the Google logo represents. Today's is very pretty - does anyone know the significance of it?

I've just had a look and it's Earth Day. If you click on it there are several sites explaining it. I haven't looked at any of them though. I did wonder if it was representing spring initially.

Had a quick look and 22nd April is a day to aspire awareness and appreciation of the the Earth's environment.

Huh Nickjones8 beat me to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Note that these peeps who know aren't just "in the loop" Skylark. If you point to the logo and linger a second or so, a popup mesage tells you what it represents. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, so do I - and I liked the one a while back, too - Dr Seuss's Birthday. I think it might have been the 2nd of March.

The very hungry caterpillar one last month was particularly special - done by the author himself in the same collage art style to commemorate the book's anniversary. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Slightly off topic but stil Google. My Google page is now asking me to telecharge Google Chrome. A friend did this and said it was unpleasant to use.

Before I launch myself into some sort of cybermess - I'm lousy at computers - could anyone comment?

Google Chrome is a web browser, much like Internet Explorer or Firefox. You don't have to do anything unless you want to switch to a Google Chrome browser Aquarelle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
