NOT many people take on Google and come out on top.

But techno whizz Rob Hawkes has become an internet sensation after ‘outGoogling’ the web giants.

The world’s finest computer minds came together in Silicon Valley to conjure up Google’s eye-catching bouncing ball logo.

But thousands of miles away in his Charminster bedroom, Bournemouth University student Rob rustled up a more hi-tech version in just a couple of hours.

He posted his design, which used the newest web technology available, on his Twitter and within hours it had taken the cybersphere by storm.

Rob’s fame was picked up by American news channel CNN and his logo has now been viewed millions of times across the world.

“I was totally amazed by the response,” admitted Rob, 24, who is about to start the final year of his interactive media production degree.

“I only posted it from my personal interest and thought some of my friends might look at it, but it took me by surprise.

“It was crazy how quickly it spread.”

Now for the science bit.

Google’s design – which made the balls bounce as you ran your mouse over them – was made using old web coding.

But Rob produced his logo using the new HTML5 code, soon be the basis of all web technology.

“As a student it is important for me to keep up to speed with this new technology,” said Rob.

“It would have been too risky for Google to use it for their logo as all their users have different requirements.

“But I thought it was important to see if it could be done.”

Google’s bouncing ball logo was only available on their site for one day.
