The interactive and exhilarating doodle on the search engine's home page featured two giant wheels standing against the backdrop drop of an amusement park. The rides in the park spell out the word 'Google'. The roll coaster represents the first letter G, the two giant wheels are the O's, the track of a Go Kart ride forms the second G, the Drop Tower is shaped like L and the merry-go-round forms the last letter E.

The colourful and lively doodle also integrates the theme of love, expressing it through sixteen different animals. A click on the love button placed at the bottom between the two giant wheels will take you through ten love stories. While the animal 'couples' seem to go on a date, the fox is pictured watching television alone at home.

"We thought this would be the best way to highlight the Ferris Wheel in its natural habitat and provide a clever way to introduce some valentines to each other," said Doodler Brian Kaas.
