Doodle for Google, Japanese Winner

By , About.com GuideFebruary 24, 2010

Follow me on:

Google recently announced the winner of Google Japan's logo design competition for school children. Japan is the 5th nation after the U.S, U.K., Australia and China to compete in the, "Doodle 4 Google" contest. The theme for this competition was, "I love Japan." The winner was a twelve-year-old girl who designed a logo including a crane, bamboo, Japanese plum and so on. I was looking at other finalists' logos, and I was so impressed with their creativeness. It is quite interesting to see how the children captured their image of Japan. Here is the site that shows the logos. Although it is in Japanese, you can click the blue boxes for "Grades 1-3" "Grades 4-6" and "Grades 7-9," then you can see 30 logos that the finalists created. The winner's logo will be displayed on March 1st on Google Japan.
