SAN FRANCISCO (GaeaTimes.com)- Google the Internet search giant is known for making changes to its well known logo on its home page from time to time. The changed logo is usually called Doodle and Google comes up with new and unique doodles on certain occasions like anniversary or birthdays of noted personalities. At times it also changes the logo to mark any major technological innovation or event. The newest Google doodle that people can find on its home page today is meant for paying tribute to noted French artist Paul Czanne. Today is his 172nd birthday. He is known for his mastery in still life paintings. The painting that replaces the Google logo on its homepage looks like the word Google itself. Some objects like cloth and jug have been used to simulate the words in the logo.

Paul Cezanne whose birthday anniversary is being celebrated by Google today was a visionary who thought ahead of his time. As a result his work was not much appreciated in his lifetime. If an suer clicks the logo he will be taken to online resources that contain information on the master artist and his creation. The Google team makes great effort to come up with logos on special occasions and at times the logos are also made animated. The famous Pacman doodle for instance was an animated one.

For the people interested in the late 19th century Impressionism and works of Paul Czanne the new Google logo is significant. His artwork is known for his mastery of color, tone, design that is rare to find in the artworks of his time.
