It’s a Saturday. And search engine major Google comes up with yet another interactive doodle to celebrate the 46th anniversary of cult science fiction tele-series, Star Trek - The Original Series.
The letters 'G', 'O', 'O', 'G', 'L' and 'E' represent different characters of the television series. The series was aired on NBC in the USA from 1966 to 1969. It deals with inter-galactic adventures aboard a spaceship called the USS Enterprise.
The letter 'G' in the Google logo represents Mr Spock. The first 'O' plays the character of Nyota Uhura. The second 'O' is the commanding officer of the spaceship, James T Kirk. The letter 'L' seems to resemble Hikaru Sulu.
The entire doodle is in the form of an adventure where the second 'O' and the 'E' go out of the red door to the transporter room and the transporter beams them to an unfriendly planet where they are challenged by an alien.
On defeating the enemy they return to the spaceship. However, there are no points to be scored in completing the adventure.
All through the adventure, the original background score of the television series keeps playing. The doodle ends in Star Trek style with the USS Enterprise (the spaceship) zipping past in the backdrop of stars and the ‘Google’ letters appear in yellow.
Interestingly, the first doodle that Google came up with was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the animated series called The Flintstones.
