As part of the process, the company tweaks its logo on the homepage and some doodles are just legendary. These fun changes to the logo have a history as old as the company itself, which is why the tech giant has now come up with alist of twenty Doodlesit feels are among the most important in its history.
As expected, the first ever Google Doodle found its place-of-pride at the top of the heap. According to the company, the concept of the doodle was born when founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin tweaked the corporate logo during the Burning Man festival, 1998, to indicate their attendance at the event. They placed a stick figure drawing behind the second ‘o’ in Google, implying that the founders were out of office.The first Google Doodle
Since then, the company has publishedtons of Doodles, and has even localized them to suit cultural tastes and depict regional events. While most early Doodles centered around the US, the first international Doodle was published in 2000, and depicted the Bastille Day – a national holiday and a really big occasion in France.
Some of the India-specific Doodles over the years include MF Husain’s 100th birth anniversary, Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose’s 158th birth anniversary, the125th birth anniversary of PC Mahalanobis, and more.
