There’s something pretty cool about a site that changes its logo every day.

This month, we’d like to share a little of the history of the Google Doodle and a few of our personal favourites.

Doodling in the desert

Back in 1998 Google founders Larry and Sergey went to Burning Man. It was here in the Nevada Desert that they started mucking around with the Google logo, placing a stick figure drawing behind the 2nd “o” in Google. This was an in-joke that indicated to Google users that the founders were ‘out of office’. The pair thought this idea was pretty cool and Google Doodles were born.

Professional Doodlers

In 2000, the first official Google Doodle – one honouring Bastille Day – graced the homepage. Doodles popped up sporadically, usually commemorating national and international days as well as popular holidays. Today, Google now employs dedicated Doodlers to get the doodles done. They have created over 2000 Doodles for Google homepages around the world, honouring science, the arts, sport and more.

Too many Doodles!

Google recently came under fire for having too many doodles on their Doodles. A study by a female advocacy group found that only 17 percent of the Google logos honouring historic figures between 2010 and 2013 celebrated women. Google has been quick to rectify this Doodle booboo and now almost half of all Doodles depict women.

Show Google your Doodle

Don’t be shy, now! The Google Team would love to see your Doodle. No really. Email your idea for a cool Doodle to [email protected] and if they like it, they’ll be in touch. And if you love Google Doodles even more than we do, you can even purchase merch with your favourite Doodle emblazoned on it.
