Google has finished off its holiday doodle series with a very interesting image of the moon and a space ship complete with Christmas lights to give it a festive touch. The image was a bit of a mystery for most people, but it all makes sense when you realize that Google is funding an ambitious project, the Google Lunar X Prize, to put a robot on the Moon designed for privately funded teams.<\/p>\n
The doodle ended a series of five Google logos which ran last week to mark the beginning of the winter holidays. The series started off with a peculiar image of a tropical location and a palm tree dressed in Christmas lights, not exactly the most obvious image of Christmas. Since Google is a global brand and the Internet removes borders or cultural differences, for the most part, the company has tried to make the logos appeal to a wider audience as possible.<\/p>\n
The second doodle in the series was a much more familiar sight, with snow everywhere and snowmen dressed in the Google colors. The series moved forward on the third day with a mountain location depicting a lake-side cabin. Despite all the postcards from previous days being stacked on top of each other, the Google logo can still be made out from the objects in the doodle.<\/p>\n
