What is Google Doodle?

0 comments
Google Doodle is the special logo found on Google.com for use on holidays, birthdays of famous people, and major events, such as the Olympics, World Cup, Earth Day etc.

Google Doodle one, Google Doodle two, three, four, five. Recent Google Doodle‘s have offered up animation and video, but today’s doodle reverts back to a static image with good reason: it celebrates what would have been Roger Hargreaves’ 76th birthday.


Google has had several logos since its renaming from BackRub. The current official Google logo was designed by Ruth Kedar, and is a wordmark based on the Catull typeface. 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, such as the Olympics. These special logos, some designed by Dennis Hwang, have become known as Google Doodles. As of 14 February 2011, Google’s own gallery features 1002 logos.
