Throughout Google’s 25-year history, the Google Doodle has grown into an iconic and beloved way for the search engine to celebrate holidays, historical moments, or notable figures.
A Google Doodle is a themed illustration or artwork that temporarily replaces the Google search logo on the search engine’s homepage. Over time, the doodles have been elevated from simplistic drawings to elaborate artworks or even interactive games that both inform and entertain the billions of people who use Google across the world.
In the past, the Google Doodle has marked events like Pi Day, the 30th anniversary of the world wide web’s creation, the 136th birthday of author Virginia Woolf, and even Google’s own birthday (September 27, 1998).
