The man behind the Google logos

Dennis Hwang may be the most famous unknown artist in the world — his work doesn’t hang in galleries or museums, but it’s been viewed hundreds of millions of times. The 28-year-old webmaster designs the whimsical logos that decorate Google.com’s otherwise Spartan Web site on special occasions.

It’s amazing how simple this job really appears to be, but it’s actually quite a bit of work. One thing I was personally unaware of is during some special occasions, clicking the logo will redirect you to a related website. Now that’s a way to get some traffic!
