THE FUSE

Have you ever wondered about the fun graphics that show up on Google’s search engine home page? Known as “Doodles,” these illustrations and animations are often artistic interpretations of the word “Google” that are both significant artifacts of collective memory and communicatory visual aids that highlight important people and events (Britten, 2020). Beyond this, Doodles have the unique ability to cross a wide variety of audiences, potentially encouraging engagement with themes, topics, and ideas beyond their typical scope of inquiry.
