Google is celebrating the 46th anniversary of “Star
Trek: The Original Series”, although the first episode’s anniversary is
tomorrow, with an interactive Doodle on the homepage. Google told Mashable it
launched the game-like Doodle a day early so “people would have time to play
with it and discover the entire story.”
The Doodle spotlights the show’s primary characters as
letters from the word “Google”. Spock, for instance, is the ‘G’, while Kirk is
an ‘o’. It also combines many familiar sounds and sights from the iconic Sci-Fi
series including scenery of the USS Enterprise and its Transporter.
Ryan Germick, a self-touted Trekkie and leader of the
Google Doodle Team, sat down with Entertainment Weekly to discuss the design
process behind today’s Doodle:
We went through lot of different iterations. What we’re looking to do is show them. And it seemed like a way to double-down sort of silly, campy nature of what we’re doing with the doodle to put in Kirk’s block of hair, Spock’s ears. It’s a testament to the power of the show, and how iconic it is, that you can just put a couple details on anything, even a letter ‘G’ and know it’s a Vulcan. That was really fun to play with and informs the whole direction of [the silly style].source
