The Google Doodle is an arty version of the Google logo. These doodles are often designed and featured on Google Search for 24 hours to celebrate special events happening all around the world. The first Google Doodle had appeared back in 1998 (check the first picture below). Today, we have ‘hand-picked’ 45 Creative Doodles released by Google during the last 13 years.
