The UFOs in Google's logo were designed to mark the 143rd birthday of author HG Wells. Although Google regularly uses its doodles to mark significant events, anniversaries and notable dates, it usually does so explicitly. This was the first time Google has used a series of mysterious logos to build up to an event, although the search page today shows a new Google doodle to mark Wells'birthday which takes web users straight through to a list of web pages related to the author.
这个由UFO组成的logo是Google用来纪念科幻作家HG Wells(威尔斯)的143岁诞辰。Google在使用涂鸦来纪念重大事件,周年日的时候,通常会比较明确地表明出来。但这次,谷歌第一次用多个科幻神秘元素来纪念一个日子,而没有明确说明。不过这一天Google的搜索页面还是配上了一组威尔斯的搜索结果来暗示用户当天是他的生日。
