Pig doing acrobatics, monkey, snake in swimming pool with face of Michael Felps… Without chinese astrodiacs we apparently would not be able to link Google logo with Olympics - we have to see snake, think Michael Felps and clap to a brilliant painter who wouldn’t draw a cockroach to symbolize a member of his family… or would he?
p00p
The Google logos are each to represent an element of the ‘Chinese Zodiac’. There are twelve icons of the ‘Chinese Zodiac’. There is no other (hidden or otherwise) meaning to the animals represented in these logos.

The word on the stamp is “gu3 ge1 yin4″, literally means “Google’s stamp/mark”.
I did a simple search of Chinese websites and found that many are critical of the logos. Some say that the “pig logo” is mocking the Chinese diving team who obtained gold in the event, and also a prediction of their share market (which went down 5% that day). Others commented the “dragon logo” as an ugly worm with 3 claws (Japanese style), and it should have 5 claws for it to be Chinese.
I find these really depressing. Put it lightly, they are rather narrow-minded to think about those bad hidden meanings. I hope they look at the bigger picture. Of course these logos are simply artwork, which introduces their culture to the whole world. It doesn’t need to be perfectly accurate. In fact, some logos depict the theme “impossible is possible”, which relates to their success in hosting the Olympics. Just think: how could a mouse be lifting such a weight? How could the pig suppress the splash when it dive? How could a fluffy sheep, which is poorly shaped aerodynamically, enter cycling?
I’ll end it here. Hope they understand.
(P/S: there’s a new logo of tiger playing badminton!)
I find the Google Artwork to be mesmerizing. Great job to who ever created the designs for the Olympics. I, like many, enjoy the artwork for special events and days the best. Keep up the great work.

Classical Chinese painters always put on at least one stamps on their paintings as seen here:

Suree, that little red square thing in the Google logos is not ONE Chinese character or letter. It is a stamp made up of several Chinese characters that is traditionally used to sign the artist’s name to a painting or other artwork. They are specially designed and carved for each person, who uses them in modern society to sign contracts or other formal documents with (in addition to art, if you are an artist).
Thanks for compiling all the logos, I’d missed some.
