Google Logo - Happy New Year 2007

Google has a big history that started on 1999 and is related to changing its homepage logo to match a specific theme, it can be:

  • a season like Christmas
  • birthday of a famous artist
  • national holidays
  • etc

The designer that makes these pieces of art is Dennis Hwang who works at Google as the International Webmaster. Anyway, the following list is what I consider to be the top 15 google logos since its creation to this date, they are not listed by quality but you can comment and say which is your favourite one.

Google Lunar OfficeThat is the top 15 list but there are still 2 honorable mentions, one of them goes to the Google Lunar Office prank on 2004 on the April Fool’s day in which they were interviewing candidates for engineering positions at the lunar hosting and research center.

The other respectable mention is the logo used on the Andy Warhol’s Birthday (August 6, 2002), the blue + yellow + pink + green combination is a killing that probably hurt the eyes of many googlers.
