Google Doodle And History

A Google Doodle is a thematic motif that is used by the search engine on its homepage to mark special occasions. Google has also used doodles to celebrate prominent people, their achievements and contribution to the world. The first Google Doodle was published in 1998 as a quick way for Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to let people know they would be out of the office for Burning Man.

Google's creative milestones began in 2000 with its first international Doodle, honouring Bastille Day in France. A decade later, on May 21, 2010, the company introduced its first interactive game doodle to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man.
