Today's Google logo is number six in the series of Sesame Street logos - the Count, or "Count Von Count."  The other five were Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie & Bert, Grover and Elmo, displayed in the last five days. 

Count Von Count is the number-loving distant relative of Count Dracula.  His 1,832,652nd birthday was on October 9th this year.  He likes counting anything and everything.  His favorite activity is - uhh, counting!  His favorite things are numbers.  Which number is his favorite? All of them! 

If the rumors are true, we should see at least one more Sesame Street inspired Google logo tomorrow, November 10th.  That is Sesame Street's 40th birthday.  More articles about Sesame Street's 40th.
