Google launched a collection of new themes created by leading artists for iGoogle, Google's personalized homepage. With iGoogle, users can access and arrange the content they want on their homepage to personalize their web experience.
Google collaborated with almost 70 artists from around the world, inviting them to use iGoogle as their canvas by creating unique, dynamic themes for users to personalize their pages. In honor of this, celebrated pop artist Jeff Koons created a special Google doodle, which appears on Google's homepage today.
Participating artists in this collection include:
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Tory Burch
Dale Chihuly
Coldplay
Oscar de la Renta
Dolce & Gabbana
Mark Ecko
Anne Geddes
Michael Graves
Rolf Harris
Akira Isogawa
Kwon Ki-Soo
Jeff Koons
Robert Mankoff
Mark Morris
Nigo ®
Philippe Starck
Diane von Furstenberg
To see the entire list of participating artists and their themes, please see: www.google.com/artistthemes. For those who can't stand to pick just one theme for their page, a sampler theme rotates through all participating artists' themes.
All themes are dynamic, changing throughout the day, and are as diverse as the personalities who created them. This new collection provides users with a diverse selection of themes to reflect their personal style on their homepage.
To see a video of the artist themes, please see www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1UJF4aK1s0. Broadcast quality video is available at www.thenewsmarket.com/google.
