Till now Google’s team of doodlers has made more than 4000 doodles. In the past decade Google has focused more on regional doodles to celebrate the histories of various countries. In May 2010 Google launched its first interactive doodle game in which users could play Pac-Man. In January 2010 Google launched its first animated doodle to commemorate Sir Isaac Newton’s birth anniversary. But since 2010 the Google doodles have become much more creative. When you hovered your mouse on top of them then you saw a small pop-up text which showed what the doodle was commemorating. Initially the doodles were fairly simple, which were just images in which the word Google was creatively written. A dedicated team was set up just to create doodles, and they fondly came to be known as “doodlers”. Subsequent doodles were contracted out, till 2001 when Google started making the doodles themselves again. It was designed by Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, to inform Google’s then nascent user base that the founders will be unavailable to tend to the servers if they crash as they’ll be off to Burning Man. The first Google doodle, which you can see in the cover image on top, came out on 31st August 1998, to celebrate the annual Burning Man event in the US. Google’s doodle celebrating the Indian Republic Day 2018 I’m sure you must have seen Google doodles on Indian special occasions like Republic Day, Gandhi Jayanti, etc. In order to commemorate certain events, holidays, and birthdays of popular personalities, Google makes certain “doodles” on its home page, which includes either artwork or interactive games to generate curiosity and awareness among its users. ![]()
