I am sorry that I have been really busy and unable to devote the proper amount of time to developing these posts recently but I shall try to catch up the best that I can:
Anton Chekhov
On January 29th, Google Russia remembered the birthday of Anton Chekhov (January 29 1860 – July 15th 1904). Chekhov was one of the greatest Russian writers, whose best known works are the plays The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard and developing the stream of consciousness style. He was also a doctor and is quoted as saying, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my mistress.”1 Russia celebrated the 150th birthday of this national hero with several cultural events across the country, including a visit by President Medvedev to Taganrog, where Chekov was born2.
Tapati Rapa Nui Festival
On January 31st, Google Chile celebrated the Tapati Rapa Nui festival which takes place on Easter Island during late January and early February. This festival celebrates the passing of the Ley Pascua in 1963 which gave suffrage to the islanders. The celebration takes place in a carnival atmosphere with many dances, parades, and sporting games taking place over the whole islands. I think that this logo was beautifully as “Google” is spelled out in Rongorongo, an ancient proto-writing system found on the island.
