Google doodle wraps up year in animated ‘2014 trending topics’

The remarkable 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Flappy Bird, the new smart phone game that kept the users glued to their cellphones.
The fascinating tale of how the Mangalyaan conquered the red planet.
The European spacecraft, Philae Lander and its adventurous journey to a comet.
And of course the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that took the social media by storm across the world and eventually got transformed into a number of other challenges like the Book Bucket challenge and the Rice Bucket challenge.

Well, the Google doodle for New Year’s Eve 2014 has it all.

As the cursor moves on the doodle, a flappy bird pops out of one of the ‘O’s, dodges the letters that follow efficiently until it turns into the FIFA football and the ‘L’ kicks it. The ‘GOOGLE’ gets morphed into ‘2014’, with the ‘1’ transforming into the Mangalyaan off on its mission and the Philae Lander landing on the ‘O’, the comet! While the ‘2’ shivers with cold after taking the Ice Bucket Challenge.
