14 DAY TRIAL // Google's logo is probably one of the most known images on the Internet because the company's popularity is continuously increasing among the net users.
You've surely observed that sometimes, the Google logo is different than the official one, containing a special image included in the pictures.
The search giant is trying to modify its logo periodically, especially to mark or celebrate specific events or a personality.
Dennis Hwang, a Google employee, said that doodles were introduced in summer 1999, when Larry and Sergey attached a little figure to the official webpage logo.
"And I've done all the doodles ever since; I've produced almost 150 by now. The doodles are only a small part of my actual job (as Google's international webmaster, I'm responsible for managing all our international site content, which keeps me plenty busy), but it's definitely my favorite. Holding up my mockups and then holding my breath while Larry and Sergey do their "thumbs-up, thumbs-down" emperor thing is never boring, and I love the fact that my little niche within this company turned out to be something so cool and creative and, well, Google-y," he added.
Google created a special webpage to include all the created logos since the summer 1999 that is available on this link. The Google employee also added that any user can contribute to a new logo by visiting this link and following the steps provided by the company.
"What doodles will I be doing next? Well, telling you in advance would spoil the fun of it, and I have no idea anyway. If you've got any ideas of your own, feel free to send them in. Who knows; you may just make a little Google history yourself," Dennis concluded.
