The Google UK Homepage(google.co.uk) on 20th Nov 2007 displayed this logo:

Drawn by Claire Rammelkamp, a 14-year old, Winner of the “My Future” UK doodle contest for students. According to Google, over sixty-five thousand doodles were created around the theme “My Future”.

The logo is titled “This or this?” and shows two variants of future earth; one destroyed (by global warming, pollution and/ or war), and one alive and green, powered by natural energy. The two “o” letters in the Google logo are formed by these two alternative futures, and the green “l” is a question mark.

There are similar intresting logos designed by other kids here.

Google reminds everyone today that its been 46 years that Yuri Gagarin, a Russian Astronaut orbited the earth on 12th April 1961.

About Yuri Gagarin, The Astronaut

• Born: 9 March 1934
• Birthplace: Klushino, Russia
• Died: 27 March 1968 (airplane crash)
• Best Known As: The first human in space

Yuri Gagarin flew into orbit aboard the Soviet spacecraft Vostok I on 12 April 1961, becoming the first man in space. He orbited the Earth once (his capsule was controlled from the ground) before returning for a safe landing in the Soviet Union roughly 90 minutes later. The 1961 flight made him an international hero; he was awarded the Order of Lenin and made a deputy of the Soviet parliament, the Supreme Soviet. The flight was also considered a political victory for the Soviet Union; the United States didn’t put a man into space until Alan Shepard’s sub-orbital flight on 5 May 1961. Gagarin had graduated from the Soviet air force academy in 1957 and joined the cosmonaut corps in 1960. After his famous flight he remained in the cosmonaut corps and was killed while piloting an airplane on a training flight in 1968.

On his way to the launch pad in 1961, Gagarin stopped to empty his bladder. The act became a tradition with subsequent cosmonauts, who urinate on the back tire of the transport bus before their flights… Gagarin was preceded into space by a Russian dog, Laika.
