Google Doodle~!

[suzumebachi]

Ah... good catch, thanks!

Couple comments. First, nice job on the letter, it is written well and to the point. When you ask for an opinion from FIRST, opinion on what? You should specify you want an opinion on use of the FIRST trademarks. Next, the person getting this may or may not help you get the doodle in at Google, probably not. When you ask for their help, be specific what you want help with. You want their helping making sure FIRST is OK with the doodle. If they can help gettin to Google, they will let you know.


Hope that makes sense and is helpful

I'm still working on the image, and I don't know how Google's Doodle suggestions work (such as, if they choose to take up this suggestion - will they use my image or develop their own?) but I would like your opinion on it as a representation of FIRST, as well as using the FIRST trademarks in some of the versions. I hope that Google actually uses the idea of an FRC Google Doodle (maybe for next year's Kickoff!)

How's that? I kinda took out the part about helping us coordinate with Google since it makes it less clear... not sure of any good ways of putting it back in... I left the kickoff comment in, though - I'm guessing this marketing person reading the message would think that an FRC doodle would be cool, too!

Hi Giselle,

Thanks for your email. We’ve been interested in getting FIRST featured in a Google Doodle for a while now, so we are very interested in talking to you about this. Would you be available for a call sometime next week to discuss?

Thanks,
