How It Was Made
Concept Overview
“Google FAN” is a two-way wink: a devoted supporter and a desk FAN. We took it literally and built a bright spinner in Google’s signature style — clean, playful, and instantly familiar.
Inspiration and Development
We love turning a tiny wordplay into a tiny toy. Starting from the phrase “Google fan,” we went literal and made a real, interactive FAN you can control — a joke you can actually play with.
The Easter Egg Experience
Key Features
Take the controls: adjust speed, switch rotation, and power the FAN on or off. The star is “I’m Feeling Crazy!” — a nod to Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” — which sends the FAN into lively, unpredictable spins. The interface leans on Google’s colors and crisp type for a familiar vibe.
How It Works
Slide, tap, and spin. Try different speeds and directions, then hit “I’m Feeling Crazy!” to watch the FAN go delightfully off-script.
How to Play
- Click the button above to meet the Google FAN.
- Use the controls to change speed and rotation.
- Toggle power to start or stop the FAN.
- Hit “I’m Feeling Crazy!” for unpredictable fun.
Built on core code by Rafael González (originally shared on CodePen), this 2021 Easter egg is a neat showcase of creative coding and wordplay — proof that a literal take can be surprisingly charming.
Final Thoughts
Unofficial? Sure. But it nails Google’s playful spirit. A simple pun becomes a hands-on moment that’s easy to try, easy to share, and hard not to smile at.
