Google always honors people, individuals, personalities, etc. who have, in some other way, impacted society or the world. Case in point: today's Google logo honors the artist Keith Haring, celebrating what would've been his 54th birthday.
Haring, who died in 1990 due to AIDS complication, was an artist who was influenced by New York City's street culture, and who's art, compose of colorful, simple wiggly human figures, is an art I have seen everywhere, due to it's street, graffiti-like influence. I have even seen it in Sesame Street, with the figures dancing to the music, in a cute wiggly way, of course. I also like it since it tends to have a Hip Hop feel it too.
Talk about a true artist :)
