Google Turns 27: Today’s Doodle Celebrates Its 1998 Logo and Remarkable Journey
GOOGLE DOODLE TODAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025: Today, Google marks a major milestone — its 27th birthday — with a special Doodle that takes users on a nostalgic journey to its origins. The Doodle, featured on the search homepage, showcases Google’s very first logo from 1998, a simple yet iconic design that recalls the early days of the internet.
Founded in September 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google started as a research project in a small garage in Menlo Park, California. What began as an academic experiment to improve web search has grown into one of the world’s most influential tech companies, organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful.
This year’s birthday Doodle not only looks back but also connects past and future. While the vintage logo reminds users of Google’s humble beginnings, the accompanying message highlights the company’s latest innovations in AI, illustrating just how far Google has come in over two decades.
From search and Gmail to Android and advanced AI tools like Bard and Gemini, Google’s journey mirrors the rapid evolution of the digital era. Over the years, Google Doodles themselves have become a beloved tradition — interactive, educational, and often whimsical celebrations of global events, historical figures, and cultural milestones. This 27th birthday Doodle continues that legacy, offering a reflective moment for the company and its billions of users worldwide.
As we celebrate 27 years of Google shaping how we access and interact with information, the story reminds us that great ideas can spring from humble beginnings. From a garage startup to a global tech powerhouse, Google’s journey continues to inspire innovation, creativity, and curiosity.
Happy 27th Birthday, Google! Here’s to many more years of discovering, searching, and inventing the future.
