Essential workers maintaining our world secure and working throughout this international pandemic deserve a standing ovation. To indicate our appreciation, we created a two week Google Doodle sequence to honor and acknowledge all who’ve stepped up in unprecedented methods— together with placing their very own lives in danger—to present companies that preserve our society transferring ahead.

Google Doodles often take months (typically years!) of planning and improvement. This one got here collectively in a matter of days. Although prior to now we’ve moved rapidly to create a Doodle in response to a serious world—and even outer world—occasion, that is our first real-time Doodle sequence specializing in one theme. 

On this sequence of animated GIF Doodles, the large “G” represents communities around the globe sending our love to the opposite letters, which signify the essential workers. Enjoyable reality: we purposely used the primary and final letters of our emblem to guarantee characters in each Doodle had been practising social distancing.
