:Girl’s Day Logo
Google Germany

April 24th is the is Girl’s Day (“Mädchen-Zukunftstagâ€) in Germany – and potentially other countries – and Google.de is showing a special logo with a pigtailed kid writing math formulas on a green board. Girl’s Day is actually intended to get more girls into jobs which are currently male dominated. Today is also Boy’s Day (“Neue Wege für Jungsâ€) intended to get more boys interested in jobs predominantly taken by women.
Google has also started a doodle competition for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (note you will have to e.g. switch your browser language to German to see this). Everyone between 5 to 18 years can participate; the theme is footballsoccerwhatyoucallit and Google declared that the logo will be presented during the day of the European (men’s) championship final on June 29th, among other prizes to be won. A couple of designs are already online in Picasa.
