30 Google Doodles We Love: Could Your Kid's Be Next?
Google has made a tradition of tweaking its logotype in honor of holidays, special events, and celebrations. And that tweaking has resulted in a library of interesting interpretations of "Google." Now, they're giving school age children the chance to participate in the fun and win some cash with the "Doodle 4 Google" contest. What are they up against? Let's take a look back at 30 of our favorite Google Doodles over the years.
The annual Burning Man Project was one of the first events to inspire tweaks to the Google logo, way back in 1998.
Google experimented with the first official Google Doodle, a series of revisions that played out a story of "alien intrigue" over the course of a week in May 2000.
Bastille Day 2000 marks the first appearance of the current Google Doodler, Dennis Hwang. Also worthy of note is the fact that Google used to provide some reference copy for the tweak, a motif that has since faded from the tradition.
