Google´s logo has been altered today to celebrate Velazquez´s birthday, 409 years ago. They´ve chosen his masterpiece "Las Meninas" for this special occasion. If you haven´t seen this painting in The Prado Museum, I specially advise you to do so...it´s a very impressive and complex painting.

I find this idea of altering the logo for a special date is really interesting, and if I see a new picture when I´m using Google, I like finding out what it means and the reason why it´s there.
It´s a great way of advertising it´s own search engine.
