Google History

The google logo has been ever changing but still remaining the same since it was drawn in 1998. The first logo was designed and Ruth Kedar and he based it off of the woodwork typeface. The website now has had many various modifications or humorous features, such as cartoon modifications of their logo for use on holidays, birthdays of famous people, and major events like the olympics. These special logos are designed by Dennis Hwang and have become known as Google Doodles. In 1998, Surgey Brin created a computerizes version of the google letters using the free graphics program. Then an exclamation point was added but then removed because of controversy saying that they copied the yahoo website. They chose primary colors as their colors but then added one secondary color to show that they do not play by the rules. In 2010 they changed their logo and made the letters look 3D and titled the O's and made the letters skinnier. 

Here is a visual of the transformation of the Google logo
