The story behind Doodles
The first Doodle was a simple out-of-office message, but in the past 25 years
Doodles have grown into a global phenomenon celebrating heroes, events, culture,
places and so much more.
We’ve created more than 5,000
Doodles over the decades. Take a
trip down memory lane below!
1998
The first Doodle
The very first Doodle was published in 1998 as a quick way for Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin
to let people know they would be out of office for Burning Man.
2000
The first Doodle series
The first Doodle series told a story of aliens encountering the Google logo and hauling it off to Mars.
2000
Doodles go global
In 2000, Google launched the first international Doodle to celebrate Bastille Day in France.
Today, there
can be many different Doodles live around the world at one time, reflecting local culture, events and
histories.
2000
Let's get moving
The Halloween Doodle in 2000 featured a special new element - animation! The O’s disguised as Jack-o-
lanterns featured some haunting flashing lights as well as an 8-legged friend. From this moment on,
animation would become a key element of Doodle storytelling!
2005
Doodle for Google is born
The Doodle for Google contest invites K-12 students to try their hand at drawing a Doodle—and compete to
see it live on the Google homepage. Now the longest running Google contest, Doodle for Google celebrates
young artists and the power of creativity.
2010
The first interactive game Doodle
A celebration of the beloved game Pac-Man and the first interactive Doodle game experience! Play to see if
you can get a high score—no quarters needed!
2011
Lights, camera....Doodle!
In 2011, Doodles evolved to full videos telling in depth stories about their subjects. Our first-ever
live-action Doodle celebrated Charlie Chaplin's 122nd birthday and featured appearances from the entire
Doodle team at the time.
2012
Making Doodles multimedia
Life’s a garden and so are Doodles (we dig both). To celebrate Earth Day 2012, a handful of dedicated
Doodlers rigged a camera to the roof of the building to grow one of our first-ever multimedia (and
organic) Doodles.
2018
The first VR/360 Doodle
In 2018, Doodles jumped off the screen with the first VR enabled/360 video Doodle. This Emmy-nominated
Doodle celebrated the pioneering French illusionist and film director Georges Méliès!
2019
The first AI-powered Doodle
The Doodle team partnered with the Google Magenta and Google PAIR teams to create the first AI-powered
Doodle celebrating Johann Sebastian Bach. Players are first prompted to compose a two measure melody of
their choice. With the press of a button, the Doodle then uses machine learning to harmonize their custom
melody into Bach’s signature music style.
2021
The largest multiplayer Doodle ever
Doodles Champion Island brought people across the globe together to explore a world filled with sport
mini-games, legendary opponents, dozens of daring side quests and more!
