Google Logo Art Beijing 2008: Dragon Ping Pong / Table Tennis

There’s another dragoon on the Google logo art today, and it s playing ping pong. Some people refer to ‘ping pong’ as ‘table tennis’. I really love the dragon because it is elaborate and the colors are very striking and vibrant. I think that this could possibly be the best Google logo art to date, not taking the very first Google logo art of the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 into account.

And I still maintain that the ugliest one to date is the “beast” playing badminton three days ago. Hehe! I wonder what animal from the Chinese Horoscope (or zodiac if you like) will be appearing on Google tomorrow. I just look forward to see a new logo art every day and I will miss this when the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games end.

So far, we have had the cycling sheep, weightlifting mouse, diving pig, rhythmic gymnastics cow, ring gymnastics monkey, basketball dragon, badminton monkey, equestrian horse, rowing dog and table tennis dragon. We still have the tiger, rabbit, snake and rooster. I can’t wait to see them!

Diving Pig in Beijing 2008

Google amuses me [even if they have spanked my blogs and has yet to lift my penalty].

If you use their Search daily during this Beijing 2008 Olympics, you can see that there is a different Google logo art every day to celebrate the Olympics.

What amuses me is that they are using the twelve animal signs of the Chinese horoscope to as participants in the Olympic Games, instead of the five Fuwa mascots, Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini, which they should rightly do.

I mean, what has the Chinese horoscope anything to do with the Olympics? Sure it’s originated from China and the Olympics 2008 is held in China but the link ends there. I would like to see, with a total of seventeen days the Olympics is held and only twelve animals to play with, including the Fuwa mascots on opening day, what animal will Google use for the other four days?

I feel that using the Fuwa Beijing Olympic mascots in Google logo art during the duration of the Olympics would be more appropriate, but still, it makes me laugh and look forward to the twelve different animals playing Olympic sports.
