What is Google Doodle?
A '''Google Doodle''' is a special, temporary logo on [[Google]]'s [[home page|homepage]]s that celebrates [[holiday]]s, events, achievements, and notable historical figures. The first Google Doodle honored the [[Burning Man]] festival in 1998,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/doodle4google/history.html |title=Doodle 4 Google |publisher=Google.com |access-date=April 23, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/doodles/burning-man-festival |title=Burning Man Festival |publisher=Google.com |date=August 30, 1998 |access-date=April 23, 2014}}</ref> and was designed by [[Larry Page]] and [[Sergey Brin]] after comparing the size of each other's doodles. Future Google Doodles were designed by an outside contractor until 2000, when Page and Brin asked [[public relations officer]] [[Dennis Hwang]] to design a logo for [[Bastille Day]]. Since then, a team of employees called '''Doodlers''' have organized and published the Doodles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/12/meet-people-behind-google-doodles-logo|title=Meet the people behind the Google Doodles|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=April 12, 2014|access-date=September 27, 2014}}</ref> By 2014, Google had published over 2,000 regional and international Doodles throughout its homepages,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27732237|title=Google blunder over D-Day doodle|access-date=September 30, 2014|date=June 6, 2014|publisher=BBC News}}</ref> often featuring guest artists, musicians, and personalities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://time.com/8410/google-doodle-valentines-day/|title=How Google made its Valentine's Day Doodle|publisher=Time Magazine|access-date=September 30, 2014|date=February 14, 2014}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Google]] {{tech-stub}}
