About Google Doodle
The very first Doodle was published way back in 1998 and was a bit of a joke from Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to remind Googlers they would be out of the office for Burning Man.
The first animated doodle premiered on Halloween 2000. In 2009, Google created the first same-day Doodle when water was discovered on the moon.
