Google is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a special doodle. Although Google Inc. was formally incorporated on September 4, the firm has opted to celebrate its birthday on September 27 for over a decade.
To commemorate this historic occasion, Google took a nostalgic trip through time, displaying numerous doodles. The Google Doodle for today is an animated GIF that changes the word ‘Google’ into ‘G25gle.’
According to the IT company, this day serves as a time for reflection while also looking forward.
“Today’s Doodle celebrates Google’s 25th anniversary.” While we at Google are always looking ahead, birthdays provide an opportunity to look back.
“Let us reflect on our birth 25 years ago,” Google wrote on its blog. Google was created by PhD students Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who met in the late 1990s at Stanford University’s computer science department.
They quickly realized they shared a common goal: to make the World Wide Web more accessible. They worked tirelessly from their dorm rooms to create a prototype for a better search engine.
“As they progressed on the project, they relocated their operations to Google’s first office—a rented garage.” “Google Inc. was officially founded on September 27, 1998,” according to the blog. Furthermore, while much has changed since 1998, the company’s aim remains constant: “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
Google thanked its consumers for changing with them over the previous 25 years, concluding, “We eagerly anticipate the journey ahead, together.” Sundar Pichai, Google’s current CEO, issued a letter commemorating the company’s birthday last month.
He commented on the company’s evolution, its key role in revolutionizing technology, and the route forward in it.
He extended great gratitude to Google’s consumers, employees, and partners, as well as the company’s continuous commitment to innovation and the dedication of past and present Googlers.
Pichai emphasized the importance of innovation and adaptation in his statement, noting that what was previously deemed amazing technology quickly becomes conventional as boundaries are pushed further.
