Doodles are funny, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists. How did the curve idea come about?
The concept of graffiti was born in 1998, even before the company was founded, when Google founders Larry and Sergey played with the company logo to show that they had participated in the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert. They placed a stick figure after the second "o" of the word Google, and the revised logo was designed to convey a comic message to Google users that the founder is "out of the office." Although the first doodle was relatively simple, the idea of decorating the company logo to celebrate a major event was born.
In 2000, two years later, Larry and Sergey asked Dennis Hwang, the current webmaster (the intern at the time), to make graffiti for Bastille Day. Our users welcome Dennis’s appointment as Google’s chief doodler, and doodles are starting to appear more and more frequently on the Google homepage. At first, the wavy line mainly celebrated family gatherings; today, from the birthday of John James Audubon to the Ice Cream Sundae, they host various events and anniversaries.
Over time, the demand for graffiti in the United States and internationally has increased. Doodle is now in charge of a group of talented illustrators (we call it Doodle) and engineers. For them, Doodle has become a collective effort to make the Google homepage alive and make Google users all over the world smile.
We're excited to see some kind doodles this year! Students can work with any materials they want, but all doodles must be entered using the entry form. Parents and teachers can mail us the completed entry form or submit it online as a .png, or .jpg.
