1998 was the year internet giant Google began manipulating their iconic logo in celebration of several national and international holidays. Since then, Google Doodles have been celebrating the works of several famous figures, from actors and artists to political figures, and even architects and designers. We have selected some of our favorites below sorted by year.

The Origin Story
The first Google doodle was in celebration of the Burning Man Festival. At the time, designers Larry Page and Sergey Brin were planning on attending the festival. Thus, by adding the burning man logo behind the second “O” in Google the designers could attend the event. It also allowed them to warn users that they would be absent, in case of the servers crashing. Since that fateful day, Google has been using Google Doodles to celebrate important people and moments in history. The Doodles did not usually have hyperlinks or animations in the beginning, but with time this became the norm. Until today, there are over 2000 local and International Doodles appearing on Google’s homepage periodically.
