In the past few days, I keep wondering why Google’s logo is being made up of LEGO brick…in case you have the same doubt as me, Google is celebrating 50th birthday of LEGO Brick. Google has LEGO brick art in their offices. A LEGO brick fan built a LEGO Google logo and Googler’s built Google LEGO logos too…

I am a big fan of LEGO brick when I was a little kid. I remember playing LEGO brick with my brother. It was fun to combine LEGO brick into any object. I will post some of my old LEGO brick work soon. Stay tune…
