Google Holiday Logos: A History
Google’s first holiday logo was created in 1998 as a simple out-of-office message. It turns out that the founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, attended the Burning Man festival.
In the 25 years since, holiday logos have evolved into a global art form that celebrates important people, cultures, history and events. Google has now created over 5,000 holiday logos.
The earliest Doodle series told a fun story about aliens who removed the Google logo and took it to Mars. In 2000, Google released its first international holiday logo for Bastille Day in France.

Today, various holiday logos appear simultaneously around the world. Each one reflects the culture and festivals of that region.
In 2000, Halloween Doodle itself introduced animation for the first time. The two O’s became Jack-o-lanterns with flashing lights and a small spider. This set the stage for future animated holiday logos.
In 2011, Doodles continued to evolve with fully animated videos. The first one honored Charlie Chaplin on his 122nd birthday and featured the entire Doodle team.
