Google Doodle and Typography

I'm really liking the Google home page illustration from yesterday. The colors, typography and texturing are all really nice looking. Not only is the image easy to watch in a trance-like state, it clicked through to awesome information as usual. It was Inge Lehmann's 127th birthday - a lady who changed the way the world thinks, and the way we think we stand upon it.



An excerpt from wiki:

Inge Lehmann ForMemRS (May 13, 1888 – February 21, 1993) was a Danish seismologist and geophysicist. In 1936, she discovered that the Earth has a solid inner core inside a molten outer core. Before that, scientists believed Earth's core to be a single molten sphere. However, seismologists had been unable to explain careful measurements of seismic waves from earthquakes, which were inconsistent with the Earth having a single molten core. Lehmann analysed the seismic wave measurements, and she concluded that Earth must have a solid inner inside a molten outer core to produce seismic waves that matched the measurements. Other seismologists tested and and then accepted Lehmann's explanation.
