Doodle 4 Google = Fun, fantastic art created by children around the US!

Earlier today a good friend of mine, and a quite fabulous person in general, shared with me a link for Google's Doodle 4 Google. Google set out on a mission to find a kindergarten through twelfth grade student to redesign their logo for millions to see. The idea behind their personalized Google was to follow the guideline of "What I'd like to do someday...". The ideas ranged from astronaut, to artist, to saving the planet to a ton of various other professions or goals these children would like to accomplish.
All of the the Google designs posted on the site were brilliant, colorful, and inspirational pieces that had obviously been given a tremendous amount of time and effort.

And today, May 19th, 2011,  a winner was chosen! Seven year old Matteo Lopez became the national winner with his Astronaut themed google featured below. Love the alien licking Earth!!

As much as I love Google's choice, my own personal favorites include:

Thirteen year old Justas's acquatic Google, which showcased her desire to assist in the "conservation of our underwater universe".

Fifteen year old Allyson's delightfully delicious looking Google which contained images of the sweets she would love to make upon opening her very own bakery. 

And last, but certainly not least, I would like to mention eleven year old Omar's Google doodle devoted to dentistry.

I love seeing children encouraged to do great things and accomplishing something they can be proud of! If you would like to check out the complete Doodle 4 Google page, check out the link below!
