To pay tribute to his great musical talent, google today dedicated five
variations of its doodle to him celebrating his 201st birth anniversary.
The
background of the doodle has various shades of brass; again signifying
the various shades of the instruments Mr Sax invented. The background
also mimics the plates and engraving typically found on instruments of
that era. Google is written across the doodle, merging with the
background. In its first doodle we see Mr Sax playing a Saxtuba standing on the extreme left corner. The Saxtuba merges with the G of Google.
In the second variant we see him playing Alto Sax in front of the second O of the logo Google.
In the third doodle we see Mr Sax playing a 7-Bell Trombone in front of the second G of Google sitting on a stool.
Forth form of the doodle showcases him playing the Soprano Sax on his knees in front of L.
Finally the last variant of the doodle shows a Googlehorn, a new frictional musical instrument created by Google team inspired by Adolphe Sax.
