Forgoing the traditional Valentine's Day Doodle, Google has produced a new interactive Doodle primarily honoring American engineer George Ferris.
Today's Google Doodle depicts a carnival scene with the traditional Google letters illustrated as rides. The centerpiece features two Ferris wheels, representing the Os in the Google logo.
Like many recent Google Doodles, today's Ferris Wheel logo is interactive. Combining Valentine's Day with the Ferris tribute, you can click the heart button below the wheels. When clicked, the Ferris wheels stop rotating and two animals are left side-by-side to fall in love at first sight.
For each animal pairing, the carnival scene breaks and you see the two love animals on a Valentine's date. At the end of each scene, click the heart button again to match up two more animals.
There is a particular serendipity to discover the fox, should you happen to come across him. Many people at one point in their lives probably empathize with it.?
Here?s a compilation of match-ups you?ll find in the Doodle:
George Ferris is most famous for creating the original Ferris Wheel, unveiled in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The term Ferris wheel has since been generalized to mean any passenger car spinning wheel ride. Clicking the search icon above the Ferris wheels takes you to a search for [George Ferris], which shows off Google's Knowledge Graph.
While Google typically represents only one event, Google has produced?double-occasion logos?before, such as last year's logo that celebrated the leap year and composer Gioachino Rossini. This is actually the second time Valentine?s Day has celebrated two events: in 2010, Valentine?s Day and the Winter Olympic Games were paired up (which you can see later in this post).
