Around the world in 25 iGoogle themes...
March 30, 2010
One way we love to help you make iGoogle your own is with our artist and designer themes — ranging from
food
and
fashion
to
games
and
comics
. Today, we’re excited to announce a set of
new themes
, tailored to the world traveler in all of us. These new themes, focused on destinations all over the globe, allow you to experience beautiful landscapes, historic monuments, stunning beaches, iconic cities and other picturesque sites — right from your homepage.
To bring you this imagery, we've partnered with a few leading organizations including
National Geographic Society
and
LIFE
, who photograph some of the most breathtaking destinations on earth.
Lonely Planet
,
UNESCO
and
visiteurope.com
have also shared a selection of incredible images.
Here’s a quick preview of some of what you’ll find:
The
World Passport Sampler
theme, which brings together many of the great destinations.
India
,
Greece
and
Egypt
, all captured spectacularly by National Geographic.
Classic beach destinations
from LIFE.com, including Monte Carlo, Waikiki Beach, and the French Riviera.
Incredible vistas from
Spain
,
Italy
,
Thailand
and
Japan
, captured by Lonely Planet.
The opportunity to view
World Heritage sites
, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Old City of Dubrovnik in Croatia, provided by UNESCO.
Hopefully, you’re as eager to try out these new themes as we are. Whether these themes remind you of one of your favorite places or allow you to experience a global destination on your homepage, we hope you enjoy them. Bon voyage!
