Google, everyone's favourite search engine, turned 25 on Wednesday and celebrated with a special drawing. The doodle showed different doodles that Google has used on its birthday over the years. The latest doodle is a GIF that turns "Google" into "G25gle" to mark the 25th anniversary. Click the logo to see confetti appear on the page.
Sergey Brin and Larry Page met while studying computer science at Stanford University in the late 1990s. They shared a vision of making the World Wide Web more accessible.
Sergey Brin and Larry Page worked hard from their dorm rooms to create a prototype for a better search engine. As the project progressed, they moved their operation to a rented garage, which was Google's first office. Google Inc. was officially founded on September 27, 1998.
Since 1998, Google's logo has changed a lot, as you can see in today's Doodle. On September 25, Google celebrated South African jazz pianist, composer, and journalist Todd Matshikiza with a Doodle illustrated by South Africa-based guest artist Keith Vlahakis.
This month, Google will celebrate its 25th birthday. It's a great honour to reach this milestone, thanks to the people who use our products and challenge us to keep innovating, the hundreds of thousands of past and present Googlers who have used their talents to build those products, and our partners who believe in our mission as much as we do.
