California: Google marked its 27th birthday on September 27, 2025, with a nostalgic Google Doodle that showcased the company's original 1998 logo. The celebration highlights the remarkable journey of Google, from a small research project in a Stanford garage to becoming a global technology leader that has transformed how people access information, communicate, navigate the world, and work.
Although Google was officially incorporated on September 4, 1998, by founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company has consistently celebrated its birthday on September 27 since the early 2000s. The reason for this choice remains unclear, but the date has become an annual tradition for the tech giant.
The Doodle featured Google's first logo, a simple design that marked the start of a revolution in internet search and technology. One notable detail of the original logo was the green 'L,' which has sparked discussions over the years, with some calling it a design mistake and others seeing it as a creative choice.
Looking ahead to its 30th anniversary, Google is expected to continue focusing on technological innovation, with particular emphasis on artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other areas shaping the global tech landscape.
The 27th birthday Doodle serves as both a celebration of Google's past and a reminder of its continued influence on the way the world interacts with information. For those who want to view the Doodle, it is available on Google's official Doodle page.
