I have always liked the Google doodles, even if a lot of them are way beyond me. (I blame it on my lack of being cultured), but I think this is the most basic, and the absolute best Google doodle so far.
In honor of the birthday of legendary artist/filmmaker/credits designer Saul Bass, Google has dedicated a very entertaining Doodle to the man, best known for his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese.
