Google<\/a> has posted its 2010 Christmas holiday<\/a> logo<\/a>. It may be the best yet!<\/p>\n

A Holiday Card From Google<\/a> by the Wall Street Journal<\/a> has a detailed article on what went into the logo.<\/p>\n

Google reportedly started working on this logo back in July, spending 250 man hours between five different \u201cdoodle\u201d designers to create the 17 interactive images that make up this year\u2019s Google holiday logo.<\/p>\n

The 17 portraits lead to the following search queries on Google:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. St. Basil\u2019s Cathedral<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Acropolis<\/li>\n
  3. Buche de Noel<\/li>\n
  4. pierogi<\/li>\n
  5. Great Wall of China<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Mt. Fuji<\/li>\n
  7. Indian dance<\/a> styles<\/li>\n
  8. Sahara desert<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. chili pepper<\/li>\n
  10. oud<\/li>\n
  11. Sydney Harbour<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Venice gondolas<\/li>\n
  13. Nepal<\/li>\n
  14. Chilean vineyards<\/li>\n
  15. African kanga<\/li>\n
  16. Henna lamp<\/li>\n
  17. Up on the housetop<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The logo went up today and will remain on Google for two and half days.<\/p>\n

    Michael Lopez, Google\u2019s Chief Doodler said, \u201cWe want to end the year with a bang.\u201d The 17 interactive portraits displayed in the holiday logo represent holiday scenes from around the world.<\/p>\n

    Google originally planned to introduce each portrait individually over the course of the 2.5 days that the logo is to be displayed, but Google\u2019s executives decided they all needed to be displayed at once.<\/p>\n
