Day Eleven

Hurdles

I look & keep looking but can't find anything interresting (imaginative) about these oh-hum doodles. The 'Googles' look merely like billboards in many of these.

I know!  They had four fuckin' years to create something cool, fer Pete's sake.

                  You haven't transposed todays Google completely.  If you will go back and check.  It has a go button in it, and it then has the
athlete walking up to the line, then running the steeple or high jumps.  Whichever.  It is an animated one.. I thought it was pretty cute/

That is cute!  Were some of the others animated?

I haven't seen any 'button'. Maybe none are available here - or maybe I haven't downloaded a necessary update (as was the case with an earlier interactive doodle a month or two ago)

Hopefully others were animated, cause, IMO, they've been generally below par.

Day Twelve

Basketball

Good use of the letters today. Also the score is smartly used to remind folks that these are the 2012 Games.

I've been noticing the shapes of the area of the images .... Starting with yesterday's Hurdles - the area in which the picture is drawn is that of an open labtop computer - cause it's a interactive game too (also the shape of a hurdle itself). Then I went back and noticed:

Day One - Archery - in the shape of as arrow - like a one way sign
Day Two - Diving - waves
Day Three - Fencing - sorta pointy
Day Nine - Synchronised Swiming - again wavy (but just the top)

The other days are beyond my current capacity for explanation.
