If you've visited Google.com today, you may have noticed a new logo adorning the page:
That is the creation of seven-year-old Matteo Lopez, the winner of Google 4 Doodle, the competition in which the company "invite(d) K-12 students to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign Google’s homepage logo for millions to see."
Matteo hails from South San Francisco and goes to San Bruno's Monte Verde Elementary. The school's web site is giving the doodle, titled "Space Life," prominent play. As well it should: The winning entry has netted the school a $25,000 technology grant. Matteo also won a $15,000 college scholarship for himself.
This morning, Matteo appeared on the "Today Show":
