Finishing touches to a design are what makes a brand succeed.
08.12.2009 Today's Google name design and art graphic is Google's name in the sky with the Perseid Meteor Shower appearing throughout their name. The Perseids, is the name of a prolific meteor shower whose name's origin came because the point the shower appears to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. The word Perseides is a term found in Greek mythology that refers to the descendants of Perseus. The stream of meteors is called the Perseid cloud.
Marketing also is closely related to public relations. As Andre Agassi once said, "Image is everything."
1/11/2012 Today is the celebration of Nicolas Steno's 374th would-be anniversary of his birthday. Nicolas Steno was a Danish Catholic cleric–scientist, known for being a pioneer in both anatomy and geology. By 1659 he had decided not to accept anything simply written in a book, resolving instead to do research himself. He is considered the father of geology and stratigraphy.
1/7/2012 The first real Google name design of the year is a tribute to the Addam's family creator Charles Addams, in honor of his would be 100th birthday. The black and white artwork was pretty cool. The family truly came to life in 1964, when a producer asked Addams to turn his comics into a TV series. The Addams Family was only on the air for two years, but can still be found in syndication. Despite its short lived Television run, it has become a piece of American history. Today also marks the 60th day since the last pagerank update. I don't forsee there being a next pagerank update until likely March or April.
1/1/2012 First Google doodle of the year. I did a comparison of the New Year's Eve doodle, so you can see the before and after effect. The top photograph is today's and the bottom picture is New Year Eve's. Now everyone can get over their post holiday blues!

2010 Google Name Designs: Google Doodles Graphic Name Art
Many of you may not realize that Google decides on which countries to show their Google doodle art in. Not every country or geographical region like Mexico and Germany sees the same designs. What is important and relevant in one country may be meaningless in another country. I happen to live in the United States despite having expanded my services in Spanish/Español in Mexico and in German/Deutsch Germany, and these are the doodles that I have seen over time. I have included the dates each graphic design appeared on their homepage.
