About Google's 27th Birthday
This Doodle celebrates Google’s 27th birthday! Google was founded in 1998 to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
As we celebrate Google's birthday today, we remember our humble beginnings as a research project in a garage — proof that breakthrough moments can start in ordinary places.
The Doodle artwork features Google’s first-ever logo (created in 1998). Let this vintage logo transport you back to the ‘90s and teleport into the future by checking out Google’s newest AI innovation.
