    The logo was moved to this site: http://www.google.com/logos/2011/lespaul.html
    If you haven't done it, you should wander the past logos for other fun interactive pieces.

    One of my favorites is the Jules Verne Tribute. http://www.google.com/logos/verne.html Besides having control of the ship, when you look at it in FireFox, you can break apart to see the lovely individual components that have been layered. Worlds Fair has a lot of tiny components too.

    Thanks for the Google logos link, Samantha! So, how do you break the logo apart in Firefox? I couldn't figure it out...

    Do you have the plug-in called "Web Developer toolbar"?
    If not, add it to Firefox. It opens a whole new world for exploration. Works beautifully, no drag on FF.

    Then using that toolbar, go to the Jules Verne page again.
    http://www.google.com/logos/verne.html
    Click "Information" on the WDT.
    Scroll nearly to bottom to "View Page Information"
    Click "Media" tab
    You can now use the scroll bar to see the lovely, intricate individual images that comprise this logo.

    Challenge: Look for the hot air balloon.
    Then try to line that up in the Google logo using the control handle. Not so easy! If I had not seen it in individual pics first, I would not have been able to find it in the logo using the controller.

    Worlds Fair is made up of individual components too. Both really nice graphic layering



    Followup article on the Les Paul Google Doodle
    In the 48 hours of the doodle being posted, 40M songs were recorded on the google doodle! Amazing response.

    I wonder what they'll do when my mother's anniversary is. I've heard of her but never heard of this Les Paul.
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
    Avoiding Manual Labour.

    Looks different in Chrome than IE.
