Google’s Birthday History and the First Doodle
When is Google’s Birthday?
Google was officially incorporated on September 4, 1998. However, the company began celebrating its anniversary on September 27, starting in 2005. This shift in the celebration date was initiated after Google announced a change in how it indexed web pages.
The Birth of the First Google Doodle
The tradition of Google Doodles began shortly after the company’s inception. In 1998, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin created the first-ever Google Doodle. This inaugural Doodle featured a simple stick figure placed over the Google logo and was designed while Page and Brin were away, attending the Burning Man Festival.
A Legacy of Creativity
Since that pioneering Doodle in 1998, Google has continued to amaze and entertain with over 5,000 unique Google Doodles created. These artistic and often interactive designs have celebrated a wide range of occasions, from Valentine’s Day to the anniversary of the ice cream sundae in 2011. Today, a dedicated team of engineers and illustrators, known as doodlers, are responsible for crafting these imaginative and captivating Google Doodles.
