Meet the Team Behind Google Doodles [VIDEO]

Unlike most Google products, Google Doodles aren't executed through algorithms. A team of living, breathing artists regularly dresses up its logo.

A video released on Wednesday, embedded above, introduces them.

Google made the video to promote its Google4Doodle initiative, which gives K-12 students in the U.S. an opportunity to redesign Google's homepage logo. This year's theme is "If I could travel, in time, I'd visit..."

The contest will accept submissions until March 23rd, and the winning design will be displayed on Google's homepage May 18th. Four national finalists, as determined by Google employees around the country and an open online voting system, will win a $5,000 college scholarship. One national winner will win a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for his or her school.

Last year's national winner, eight-year-old Matteo Lopez, drew a space scene in which the Google "G" turned into an alien that slurped juice out of the Google"O" Earth.
