Google honors John Lennon on his 70th birthday with logo

Google is paying tribute to John Lennon today on what would have been his 70th birthday by including his famous self-portrait within its logo. But that’s not all. Clicking the play button next to the logo reveals an embedded video which plays animation based on Lennon’s sketches and accompanied by a few seconds of Lennon’s peace anthem “Imagine.”

It can also be seen on YouTubefor those of you who can’t get it working on Google.

It’s lovely…

We share the same birthday, though he was 29 years older.

Huh, I just realised that means I am older than he ever got to be. That’s weird.

Hey, I’m only 5 years younger than he would have been.

I’m the same age he was.
