A Holiday Card From Google
For Micheal Lopez, creating this year’s holiday card came down to the wire. The design took five artists about 250 hours. It will be opened by hundreds of millions of people. You’re on the list.
Mr. Lopez is in charge of what Google Inc. calls its “doodles,” the illustrations that occasionally adorn the search engine’s logo in the U.S. and abroad. Doodles appear throughout the year to commemorate holidays, pop-culture touchstones, civic milestones and scientific achievements. The holiday doodle—its most ambitious one yet—will go up on its home page Thursday morning at 9 a.m. eastern time. It will remain on the site for 2½ days.
“We want to end the year with a bang,” says Mr. Lopez, whose title is chief doodler.
