Google's animated doodle ushers in New Year with dancing numbers changing places at midnight

Google's doodle dedicated to the last day of 2013 continues to feature on its homepage, albeit with a change in sequence of the numbers.

The doodle on for December 31, 2013, featured the numbers 2,0,1 and 3 dancing above a flashing dance floor, while the number 4 stood to their right waiting for its turn.

The numbers 3 and 4 switched places at the strike of midnight ushering in the New Year, 2014.

This doodle now has 2, 0, 1, 4 dancing while 3 stands at the side where 4 was earlier but 3 is sweating and panting signifying a year that has just run a race.

Above the numbers, the doodle features two thumping speakers on each end signifying loud music being played to celebrate the New Year. Between the two speakers, we have the words Google written, with a revolving glitter ball replacing the second O.

While users will land on a page listing the top news articles of 2014, when they click on the doodle, a link below the search box will take you on through the highlights of the year 2013 on the Google Zeitgeist 2013 page.
