Today, 20 March 2012, the vernal equinox in the Northern hemisphere marks the arrival of spring, while in the Southern hemisphere, the equinox welcomes fall. Google celebrates this change of seasons around the globe today with Marimekko designed First Day of Spring and Fall doodles.
The playful Marimekko doodles form the Google logo with a joyful interplay of elements of iconic Marimekko printed textiles by eight renowned designers: Maija Isola, Kristina Isola, Erja Hirvi, Maija Louekari, Aino-Maija Metsola, Teresa Moorhouse, Jenni Tuominen and Katsuji Wakisaka.
