It's awesome Google logos Doodles for
celebrating all the popular event which has been passed but a memorable thing.
The founders approached Dennis Hwang, now the current Webmaster for Google,
while he was only an intern to design the Google logo in a way that celebrated
Bastille Day. The Larry and Sergey were so impressed with Hwang's doodle that
they appointed him Google's Chief Doodler. When Google founders, Larry Page and
Sergey Bring, wanted to do something creative with their logo. Once popularity
and demand grew for these doodles, the responsibility of merging corporate logos
and national holidays has been expanded to a team of designers with Hwang still
at the helm. These doodles have now become regular occurrence on the search
engines' page, celebrating events all over the world.
