  Many people seem to. I've actually been looking for negative feedback, since I thought some of the earlier drafts were better. I am just some guy with an opinion though. Overall it was a really difficult piece, given how abstract Shannon's work was -- what sort of visual metaphor do you use for the man whose work was to split the concept of "communication" from any concrete implementation? But, I am happy that people like his work, and I will certainly pass along your compliments.

    You are looking for negative feedback for another Googler's work? Well that's not very googly.

      I am not employed by Google. If I were, I would still have a right to disagree with the art direction. The execution was fine; I preferred other concepts which did more to display Shannon's work. Shannon's juggling was about as relevant as the flamethrowing trumpet he designed. Juggling was supposed to be more 'accessible'. Should doodles be representative, or accessible?

        My bad. You are literally just a guy with opinions. I thought you were soliciting for feedback on a public forum for a coworker. I got confused.
