Google Beijing Olympic logos

The past two weeks were pretty exciting, with all the sport events happening in Beijing Olympics 2008. And for most of you who use Google everyday, you will certainly notice that Google had a different logo everyday through the two weeks the games were held.

What’s more interesting is that the logos were mostly based on animal characters of the Chinese Zodiacs. Below is a compilation of the logos.
