Google currently owns the most visited website in the world with millions of users looking to use the search engine to find information on the Internet. Because the page is so popular, Google tries to change the official logo of the company with attractive images meant to honor a certain event or personality. These special images are entitled Google Doodles and are replaced every Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving Day or other events celebrated by the entire world.

"The
company also includes various modifications and/or humorous features, such as cartoon modifications, of their logo for use on holidays, birthdays of famous people, and major events, like the Olympics. These have become known as Google Doodles. They are displayed on the day of the occasion, and link to a string of Google search results about the topic, which can drive a lot of traffic to unsuspecting sites. The first doodle was designed in 1999 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin after attending the Burning Man Festival. Subsequent logos were designed by an outside contractor, until Larry and Sergey asked then-intern Dennis Hwang to design a logo for the Fourth of July (American Independence Day) in 2000. Hwang has been designing the logos ever since," Wikipedia sustains about the Google Doodle.

As you know, today we all celebrate Valentine's Day, a traditional day when lovers from all around the world are buying flowers or candies for their sweethearts and are trying to express their love. Because it is a special event, Google placed a special doodle on the official page of the search engine. Although the logo looks pretty nice because the second G is replaced by a chocolate coated strawberry, the new doodle is a little weird because the L is almost invisible. So, no matter if it looks nice or not, the search giant's logo seems to turn Google into Googe.
