A milestone moment
On September 27, 2025, Google marked its 27th birthday in classic style—with a colorful Doodle on its homepage. For millions of users across the United States, it was both a celebration and a trip down memory lane, reminding everyone how far the company has come since its humble beginnings.
From a garage to global dominance
Back in 1998, Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in a Menlo Park garage. Their mission was simple yet ambitious: “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible.” Fast-forward nearly three decades, and Google is no longer just a search engine—it’s Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Android, and now a leader in AI technology.
The nostalgic birthday doodle
This year’s anniversary doodle paid tribute to Google’s very first logo from 1998. The playful artwork sparked nostalgia while also hinting at the company’s future with AI and innovation. Unlike formal announcements, these doodles bring a lighthearted charm, letting users celebrate alongside the company.
How Google changed everyday life
“Just Google it” has become second nature for Americans. Whether it’s finding the best pizza in New York, fact-checking a football score, or streaming a tutorial on YouTube, Google has woven itself into daily routines. From dial-up in the late ’90s to today’s lightning-fast mobile searches, the transformation is staggering.
Looking ahead to 30
The 27th birthday wasn’t just about reflecting on the past—it pointed to what’s next. With AI, smart devices, and cutting-edge tech shaping the future, Google’s 30th birthday promises even more milestones. And one thing is certain: birthday doodles will keep adding joy to users’ daily searches.
