Google Pays Tribute to Antoni Gaudí With A Barely Recognizable Doodle

If today was your first contact with the internet, and you saw Google's homepage, you'd likely have trouble recognizing the company's name from its logo. The colorful, stylized Doodle today celebrates the 161st birthday of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí

Gaudi is best known for his colorful buildings and out-of-this-world parks and gardens in Barcelona, Spain. Some of his most recognizable works include the Sagrada Familia church, Park Güell, and the Casa Batlló and Casa Milà buildings, all located in Barcelona
