Google 20th Birthday Logo

Tomorrow, September 27th is Google's official 20th birthday or anniversary. To celebrate the day, Google has a special Google logo, Doodle, remembering the day they launched with a video of someone searching on the original Google.com. It also takes you through some of the more popular searches throughout the past 20 years.

Google wrote:

20 (ish) years ago today, two Stanford Ph.D. students launched a new search engine with a bold mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Though much has changed in the intervening years - including now offering Search in more than 150 languages and over 190 countries - Google is still dedicated to building products for everyone.

Today’s video Doodle takes a stroll down memory lane by exploring popular searches all over the world throughout the last two decades.

So whether you’ve searched for the status of your favorite object orbiting the sun, the latest on the world’s biggest events, or how to impress on the dance floor: Thank you from Google.

Here is the video Doodle:

Here is a screen capture from the video of the original Google home page:
