First day of spring!

Have you googled something yet today? Notice anything familiar? Today Google celebrates spring (and fall) with iconic Marimekko doodles on their homepage. This will be the first time a Finnish designer has created Google doodles. Very exciting :)  

“Marimekko design is all about understanding the beauty of life just as we encounter it every day – celebrating everyday moments and the special characteristics and nuances of the different seasons. Thus, with the First Day of Spring and Fall doodles, we want to inspire people to free their own creativity and have fun with it – every day and each season,” 
Mika Ihamuotila, President and CEO of Marimekko.
