Google is celebrating its 27th birthday today with a special Doodle that revives its very first logo, thanking billions of users across the world for being part of its journey.
The Doodle, which appears on the search homepage, gives a nostalgic reminder of how the internet giant started in 1998.
The homepage greeting reads: “Today’s Doodle marks Google’s 27th birthday. Thank you for searching with us throughout the years!”
Why September 27?
While Google was officially incorporated on September 4, 1998, it now marks September 27 as its birthday.
The shift is tied to the company’s early celebrations when a Doodle was first used on this date. Over the years, September 27 has become the symbolic day that the internet giant pauses to look back at its growth.
From garage to global tech giant
Founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Menlo Park, California, Google began as a research project at Stanford University. The mission was clear: to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
From those early search algorithms, Google has transformed into a global technology powerhouse under parent company Alphabet Inc. Its businesses now include cloud computing, online advertising, YouTube, Android, consumer electronics, and artificial intelligence.
Under the leadership of CEO Sundar Pichai, Google continues to push boundaries in quantum computing, e-commerce, and machine learning.
The Power of the Doodle
Google’s Doodles have become cultural touchstones. The very first one appeared in 1998 when the founders placed a stick figure logo to mark the Burning Man festival.
Since then, Doodles have evolved into animations, interactive games, and regional artworks that celebrate milestones, scientists, artists, and global events.
This year’s Doodle leans on nostalgia, showcasing Google’s first logo to remind users of how far the brand has come. It blends history with gratitude, placing users at the centre of its journey.
