Take a look at the Best Google Doodles created in the past. Google’s logo has changed very little over the years, but the History Of The Google Logo has evolved to celebrate holidays and recognize various events.
It was the year 1998 when Larry and Serger redesigned the google logo to reference the Buring Man Festival located in the Nevada desert. After they played around with that first Google Doodle, they loved the idea of doing more.
Since the concept was born Google has been able to showcase the Best Google Doodles around Holidays, Anniversaries, Events, and People. It has created a lot of buzz and has a loyal following.
LogoMyWay has wondered just what the company’s logo would have looked like in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s had they been around. Which special occasions and events would Google have celebrated by updating their logo?
LogoMyWay’s top designers were given the task of creating what they imagined the Google logo would have looked like through History. What they came up with is brilliant and creative. Enjoy!
