I opened Google randomly and saw a doodle celebrating India's achievement—an 18-year-old becoming the youngest world chess champion. It made every Indian proud. Out of curiosity, I started wondering how Google Doodles began. What was the very first doodle? This led me to explore the fascinating and beautiful journey of Google Doodles over the years.
Happy coincidence.
The founder of Google Larry Page and Sergey Brin, along with their employees, took a break from the internet and cell phones to visit Nevada's Black Rock Desert. There, they experienced the local Burning Man festival, a social experiment where a temporary city forms and then disappears, all focused on creativity rather than money. Inspired by this experience, before leaving, Larry and Sergey created a special version of the Google logo, adding an image of the Burning Man to the second "O" in "Google." This is how the famous Google Doodle was born.
Here's how the series and journey of google doodle began and growing since now in november 2001 Google feature the Indian festival the “Festival of lights Diwali” but day before running it they got to know it was based on some religion hence google run the doodle which were politically correct like new year's, olympics, special occasion etc.
Fun Fact
There are also some fun stories about doodles. Some computers initially saw the doodle and thought Google had permanently changed its logo. And science the story of doodle got expanded with scientists, famous discoveries even the occasional entertainers.
