What is a Google Doodle?
A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google’s homepages that is intended to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists.
The first Doodle was a Burning Man stick figure behind the second ‘o’ in the word “Google.” It was intended as a comical message to show that the founders were attending the annual event and that the company was still running despite their absence. The doodle became popular and led to more intricate designs being created for subsequent occasions.
Today, there is a whole team at Google dedicated to creating new Doobles. The designs are often interactive and can take many forms; from simple animations to full-blown games.
