In Pictures | How Google changed over 18 years
Take a look at how Google changed over the years on its 18th birthday.
While Google is celebrating its 18th birthday on September 27, the celebratory doodle, however, went out with a disclaimer.
The company, founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergei Brin, observes its birthday on September 27. But even Google seems to be unaware of when its birthday really is.
Since 2006, it has been celebrating its birthday on September 27, but the year before that, it had celebrated the birthday on Sept 26.
And on its 6th birthday, in 2004, the birthday was observed on September 7, but the year before that, it was on September 8.
However, settling all debates, Google has now stuck to September 27 since 2013, because it was on this date that the first ever birthday Doodle went up in 2002.
Over the years, the logo for Google has undergone a multitude of changes. On this day, as our beloved search engine turns an adult, here is a look at all the logos over the years.
