Google’s Logo For Today’s Homepage Scatters Colorful Balls or Dots

Google often changes the logo above their search to commemorate a specific occasion. Today the logo is a series of colorful dots or balls and they scatter as your mouse gets near them. So far, there has been no indication as to what this Google Doodle is representing.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out on the Google Search page.

Perhaps it’s even related to The Grand Design’s release or any other number of things going on today.
