Google Doodle: A Brief Overview
A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the Google logo on the search engines homepage. It is intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures. The first Google Doodle was created in 1998 to let people know that the founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were out of the office for the Burning Man festival. Over the years, Google Doodles have evolved from simple static designs to complex, interactive logos that can inform and entertain billions of people. The Doodle for Google contest is an annual art contest open to students in grades K-12, allowing them to create their own Google Doodle. Google Doodles have become a beloved part of Google Search, celebrating a range of local and international topics through static illustrations, animations, slideshows, videos, and interactive games. The Doodle team is responsible for creating and designing Google Doodles, and they have included artists like Ekua Holmes, Jennifer Hom, and Dennis Hwang. Google Doodles have also become a way for Google to engage its audience and convey important messages in a unique and memorable way.
