First Ever ‘5 Multi Image’ Google Logo Celebrates Hans Christian Andersen

  • Post author By SMSEO
  • Post date April 2, 2010
  • 81 Comments on First Ever ‘5 Multi Image’ Google Logo Celebrates Hans Christian Andersen

hans christian andersen google logo 51Is this the first ever multi-image Google logo?

Google doodles are certainly a common thing to see on the front page of Google.com, but today I believe marks the first time a Google logo has multiple (simultaneous) images associated with it.

*** Update since I posted this:  Google has done this before, as some people have pointed out in the comments below – anyway, hope you enjoy my article nonetheless and thank you so much for visiting!

**** Second update since I posted this – nevermind my first update because I believe I am correct that this is the first time Google has created a Google logo that you actually click on it and it flips through multiple images (as you click the logo). Read the comments below for more info…

Today’s Google Logo celebrates Hans Christian Andersen’s 205th birthday, and as you click the logo, the image changes to a new design.

This sequence unfolds through 5 consecutive images, all of which highlight a different aspect of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales and stories.

Here’s all 5 of the Hans Christian Andersen Google Logos:

Image 1 (loads when you visit Google.com)

hans christian andersen google logo 1

Image 2 (loads after first click on image)

hans christian andersen google logo 2

Image 3 (loads after second click on image)

hans christian andersen google logo 3

Image 4 (loads after third click on image)

hans christian andersen google logo 41

Image 5 (loads after fourth click on image)

hans christian andersen google logo 5

And then, after you click the fifth Google logo, you are then taken to the Google search results for “Hans Christian Andersen”.

Pretty cool stuff…

it's really cool, but not the first time. they usually have multi-logos on holidays (usually on christmas or in the days leading up to it.).

Though looking closer at them to make sense of them they may all be Thunbelina. The girl is really small in all of them. Possibly they are using a Thumbelina character to represent several stories and if so I would say the second could be little mermaid.

avatar of avaAvasays:
April 2, 2010 at 6:32 am

I am pretty sure that the logos actually all depict a different scene from "Thumbelina": The first logo is when she is "born" from the flower; the second is when the toad takes her away to marry his son; the third is the winter scene after she escapes from the toad, right before the field mouse saves her; the fourth scene is when she escapes from marrying the mole on the back of the swallow; and the fifth scene is when she arrives to the land of the flower-fairy people and meets the flower-fairy prince.

*Note: I am just a childhood Hans Christian Anderson/Thumbelina fan who read the story a lot, not some weirdo.

(As a matter of fact I just told the story to a friend of mine who had never heard it. ) It's nice to know their are other childhood story fans out there. Have a nice night.

i can't really spell 'eloquent'. i had to copy and paste it from your comment, dante.

I read it Uriel. It proved you are wrong. You are honestly quite rude and as a girl I wonder if you are just bitter because you are not getting laid. Perhaps if you were you would have something better to do than being rude to strangers. If you are getting laid, I recommend finding someone different, they are obviously not keeping you in a state of bliss that would help with your demeanor.

I think I was the first person in the United States to write a story about the Hans Christian Andersen Google Logos to be completely honest with you.

I saw the Google logo design change at about 2 minutes past midnight – eastern standard time – and then wrote the article.

There were a couple of other articles about it, but they were in a language other than English.

I guess it pays to be the first one to write about a news story!

Hey everyone. Let me clear up what Robert has yet to make obviously clear. When he says, "First Ever ‘5 Multi Image’ Google Logo" what he means is on the SAME EXACT day, and not in consecutive days. ALL examples given previously were all for a series BUT on different days in sequential time frames such as Dec 21 – Dec 25 totaling 5 different logos. How and why do I know this? I have collected them all, researched and now have an entire library of EVERY single google logo that was used since they started doing this from the get go. I have spoken to THE person who actually creates these for Google. There is a history AND you can find that – where else? RIGHT on google of course! By my research and knowledge this IS the first time they have had more than one image represent the same day for the same country/continent/area. WHAT do I mean by that you ask? Well, I am going to share a link with all of you out there who are google logos/logo in general enthusiast. once you start thumbing through these you will be shocked to find out that google actually creates various logos for different countries for different parts of the world! YEA! Sometimes, for example, China may have a different logo on the same day as us. Or, Korea may not have the thanksgiving logo as they celebrate it on a different day! Customs also play a roll in what goes where. Check it out for yourself, if you have ANY questions please feel free to ask or give me a shout! Now… HERES the link: http://www.google.com/logos
