The 2008 doodle by Wes Craven is still one of my favorites. Since Google archives all of these I figured I’d take a trip down memory lane and share some of my favorites from over the years.
In the early days, they look like nothing more than some clipart stacked on top of the Google logo, but in more recent years they have gone on to be more intricate and in some instances animated. Google Doodles, as they’ve come to be known, are the modified logos that appear at the top of Google’s search engine on holidays and special events.
