Ten Google Doodles of 2009

Before we start our 1st step in year 2010, I’m gonna show you guys the ten Google Doodles of 2009. Check it out! It’s very interesting. Google long known for spicing up its home page with ‘doodle’ tributes for various events and famous people’s birthdays has continually used humor to soften its often maligned brand persona of being a monopoly… or should I say a Googlopoly!  In the spirit of a New Year approaching, I thought it befitting to look back at Google’s TOP TEN 2009 artwork and congratulate the Grand-daddy of search engines for some doodles well done.

1 ) Popeye

Popeye appeared on December 8 and marks the 115th anniversary of the birth of its creator, E.C. Segar. It is one of the most recent doodles to be added to Google’s homepage.

2 ) Wallace and Gromit

Google UK honored Wallace and Gromit in all their clay glory, partaking of a cup of tea, like the true Englishmen that they are. November 04, 2009 was the 20th anniversary of Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit.

3 ) Sesame Street

During November 4, Google in the States paid homage to Big Bird and Sesame Street on the recent 40th year birthday of Sesame Street.

4 ) Barcodes

The Google logo bar code spells out “Google” using Code 128, which they describe as “a standard way of encoding ASCII character strings (ie. A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc.) into a bar code.” On October 7, 2009, Google replaced its logo with the bar code designed to commemorate the 57th anniversary of the first bar code patent

7 ) H.G Wells

This doodles is displaying UFOs and crop fields in its logo were designed to mark the 143rd birthday of author HG Wells birthday. However the cryptic reveal of each new doodle was introduced purposely as a puzzle and over the course of 16 days many of us had no idea what they actually meant.

8 ) Apollo 11 Landing

Back on July 12, Google chose to mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with one of its doodles. A little bit difficult to discern, but if you look closely, you will see that  “Google” is spelled out in the pattern of the craters on the lunar surface , with the L created by the footprints leading to the Eagle landing.

9 ) Confusius

Google ‘doodled’ itself on the eve of their 11th year anniversary. The search giant’s name appeared with an extra letter “L” on its home page, a modification that did not escape the notice of the Internet. Within hours of the new logo going live, “why is Google spelt wrong” and “why does Google have two Ls” were two of the most popular search phrases on the Web.

10 ) Google’s 11th Anniversary

Perhaps most fitting to end this Top Ten list is to feature Google’s tributes of tributes  – to Google itself!. In this instance, Google ‘doodled’ itself on the eve of their 11th year anniversary. The search giant’s name appeared with an extra letter “L” on its home page, a modification that did not escape the notice of the Internet. Within hours of the new logo going live, “why is Google spell wrong” and “why does Google have two Ls” were two of the most popular search phrases on the Web.
