Imagine you can redesign Google's logo. What would it be? Perhaps the two o's can be portholes in a submarine that is exploring the 'l' hydrothermal vent? Google tasked K-12 students nationwide to come up with future Google logo's in the Doodle 4 Google.
Doodle 4 Google is a competition where we invite K-12 students to reinvent Google's homepage logo. This year we asked U.S. kids to doodle around the theme "What if...?"Our favorites are below the fold!Well, the entries are in, and we couldn't be more impressed. We received thousands of wonderful doodles, and choosing 40 finalists for the public vote had to be one of the most difficult but enjoyable jobs at Google in the past few weeks.
So the kids have done their part, and we've done ours. Now it's your turn to help out by picking your favorite doodles. Your votes will help us select a national winner to replace our usual logo on the Google homepage on May 22, 2008.
What if.... a fish swallowed a google?

What if... we lived under the sea?

What if... fish could think?

What if... everyone recycled?

What if... google became a peacemaker?

What are your favorite ones? Make sure you go and vote, make a kid proud!
