Google regularly modifies the logo on its home page to mark an event or occasion. For instance, it replaced the ‘e’ in its logo with a poppy on Remembrance Day earlier this month.The Google doodles have become a popular feature of the site, with more and more appearing since the first doodle in the year 1998, which was drawn to mark the Burning Man Festival in the US.
Most of the designs are self-explanatory. However, in September this year, Google displayed a series of cryptic doodles apparently depicting a UFO invasion.
The users of internet puzzled over the meaning of the logos for weeks before the company revealed that they were a tribute to HG Wells, creator of science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, on the 143rd anniversary of his birth.
In spite of having designed a new ‘doodle’ every St Patrick’s Day since 2000; it is only the second time the California-based search engine has recognized Scotland’s national day in the same way.
On Nov. 30 last year, Google’s St Andrew’s Day logo features a set of bagpipes in place of the ‘l’ and ‘e’.
