Spooky New YouTube Logo Came Out

The Google video sharing technology YouTube seems to be the first service powered by the super giant which started the Halloween party. As you can see if you visit its official website, the famous YouTube logo was replaced by a new doodle, especially designed for Halloween showing a pretty cool pumpkin instead of the well known red-Tube design. In addition, the Google homepage was also modified today with a brand new doodle, also celebrating the Halloween (you can see it in the picture attached to the article). Moving your mouse cursor over it shows you a "Happy Halloween" message while clicking on it gets you to the Google Search results for "Halloween".

"Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, Halloween festivals, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and viewing horror films. Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, celebrated among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain," an article about Halloween published on Wikipedia states.

"Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is now celebrated in several parts of the western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia and New Zealand."

In addition to these special doodles, Google also modified that orange little guy appearing on Google Maps Street View which allows the viewers to choose a location for panoramic views. He was replaced by a spooky witch that is still available on the web-based mapping technology.
