Google Doodles

Whenever you see someone on facebook telling you to check out google, they're probably referring to the latest google doodle. Doodles are when the google logo changes for special occasions, such as a holiday or a famous artist or inventor's birthday. The idea started before the company itself did when the founders played around with an idea for a stick person behind the second O to signify to users that they were out of office. After they asked an intern to make a doodle for Bastille Day, the idea took off and more and more doodles started sprouting up. The Doodle 4 Google competition asks students from around the United States to submit artistic depictions of a certain theme to appear on the google page.
