The Man Behind Google Artwork

malyn writes "CNN has an article on the artist who designs the custom Google logos for holidays, special events, etc. From the article: '[Dennis Hwang] has been manipulating the six letters in the Google name into shamrocks, fireworks, hearts and goblins since shortly after he got an internship there in 2000. Company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin found out that he was an art major in college. They said "Hey Dennis, why don't you give this a shot,"' and he has been doing it ever since."

    I like this Dilbert series more.

    From TFA: "Sometimes we unfortunately take some sites down, so we have to cycle through different search queries midday,"

    Have you heard of Google Cache? Just link to it instead if the site goes down.
