Shocking! Google's post-ancient logo

If I don't say, can anyone guess what this picture is?

I reckon most people wouldn't be able to tell what this thing is. Is it a child's mischievous random scribble? Or a beginner's doodle practice work? Or is there really a place that looks so messy like weeds?

If I say this is the world-renowned Google logo, would you believe it?

Hey, big brother, here are your glasses. It's the Year of the Ox now, and all sorts of incredibly great events will happen. This is truly Google's logo, and it's today's logo.

When I opened the Google homepage today, my first feeling was that Google had been hacked because I thought there was no way Google would use such a logo. The main function of a logo is to serve as a distinctive graphic mark compared to other websites. But could you possibly associate the figure above with Google in any way?

Upon clicking, I realized (see the figure below) that I was wrong. Google is spotless. It turns out this is to commemorate Jackson Pollock's birthday.

Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American abstract expressionist painter. He was a symbol of the new American painting after World War II worldwide. He was a pioneer of abstract expressionism and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, renowned for his technique of splashing paint casually on a canvas and creating flowing lines. His works often possess an unforgettable natural quality.

It turns out that Google is also playing post-modern. I admit, I am lagging behind. To prove my normalcy, I've decided to study hard and hold onto the tail of fashion forever and ever.

Because, I can't possibly be as shocking as Google. Even if I were to shock people, I must be at least a little better than Google. (Liu Xingliang)
