Google pays tribute to travelers in Christmas Day doodle

 
Google on Thursday paid tribute to those traveling home for Christmas with an animated doodle for Christmas Day 2014.
 
Visitors to Google’s homepage (www.google.com) were greeted with a doodle depicting various means of transportation people take to get home.
 
 
Holidays almost always involve travel and transport, and I wanted to celebrate the variety of ways we do this. Choosing a suitcase/backpack motif, I set about creating multiple people that transform and adapt to their surroundings,” doodler Matt Cruickshank said.

He said the background music “Seabird” by Matt Saxton plays along to the doodle.

Cruickshank described the doodle as a “door to door journey” seen through many eyes.

“Whatever our destination this holiday- a snowy mountain, a perfect wave or a crackling fire, we hope you enjoy the ride!” he said. — Joel Locsin/RSJ, GMA News
