What is a good idea for the doodle for google contest?

Would the Google brand lose anything by selling its Google Doodle to advertisers?

• e.g. - Would it be right for Google to create a doodle with the name Talash (Search in HIndi), and sell it as a promotional idea to the upcoming Aamir’s movie by the same name? The hypothetical scenario sparked a debate about in my office. More on that debate in my blog - 'http://www.rahulbalyan.com/2012/11/the-delayed-flight/'. Keen to hear your views. EDIT - as it turns out, this was an actual proposal which google turned down, link - http://www.indiadigitalreview.com/news/google-rejects-aamir-khans-marketing-tie-request-talaash

• Answer:

  What enthrals us all in the google doodles is the very essence of free creativity. This creativity is also something that Google as an organisation and brand is closely associated with . If the doodle were to be made into an advertising property , it would lose its free creative sentiment for the audience even if they are somehow able to maintain the quality of doodles (although it is highly unlikely when they would be forced to play to the advertisers' interests ). Good brands realise what their assets are and I guess google knows that the doodles are symbolic of its free spirited creativity .
