46th. Google has a tendency to play with unusual number anniversaries.

A day early, too, aren't they?
EDIT: This year is the 25th Anniversary of the premiere of TNG, but that's not for three weeks.

I think it went as far back as 1964- http://trekmovie.com/2011/02/05/gene...-pitch-online/

If you click on different outlined parts of the logo, you can see or hear different effects-- if you use up the ones on the main logo, they take you to the transporter room to "beam down" a couple of letters.
The "glamorous Uhura shot" and the "weeping redshirt" are my favorite bits.

Yeah, yeah. 46. Like you've never hit the wrong key before.
I was showing it to our daughter. When it got to the transporter scene, she asked, "Why is the little red guy crying?" "What color is he?" ... "Oh."

I hope this is one of the ones to make it into the archives with all fiddly bits intact. I wish the archive would also link to an explanation of what the various doodles are about, especially since it shows the international ones, too.

I liked the red-shirt. He must have been Wile E. Coyete in a past life.

Where were they? My father and I were playing with the doodle during a phone call yesterday, but neither of us found the tribbles.

In the transporter room... Remember how Kirk opened an overhead storage hatch?

Thanks, guys. I found one of those Youtube walk-throughs. Can't believe I missed the storage bin. I might have to change my avatar now.

Not just you. (And it is still interactive in the archives!)
