Pac-Man 30th Anniversary | Google Pac-Man
It's Pac-Man 30th Anniversary, and in honor of this timeless game which is now 30 years old, Google commissioned a special logo to appear on the main search page that inserts Google's name into the old maze-like playing field of Pac-Man. You can actually play Pac-Man on Google today, so check it out.

And here's a little about Pac-Man game from Wikipedia:
Pac-Man (パックマン Pakkuman?) is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the U.S. by Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980. Immensely popular in the United States from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is universally considered as one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of the 1980s popular culture. Upon its release, the game—and, subsequently, its derivatives—became a social phenomenon that sold a bevy of merchandise and also inspired, among other things, an animated television series and a top-ten hit single.
