<P> "There were a lot of different color iterations", says Ruth Kedar, the graphic designer who developed the now - famous logo . "We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order, we put a secondary color on the L, which brought back the idea that Google doesn't follow the rules ." </P> <P> In 2010, the Google logo received its first major overhaul since May 31, 1999 . The new logo was first previewed on November 8, 2009, and was officially launched on May 6, 2010 . It utilises an identical typeface to the previous logo, but the "o" is distinctly more orange - colored in place of the previously more yellowish "o", as well as a much more subtle shadow rendered in a different shading style . On September 19, 2013, Google introduced a new "flat" (two - dimensional) logo with a slightly altered color palette . On May 24, 2014, the Google logo was updated, the second' g' moved right one pixel and the' l' moved down and right one pixel . The old 2010 Google logo remained in use on some pages, such as the Google Doodles page, for a period of time . </P> <P> On September 1, 2015, Google introduced a controversial "new logo and identity family" designed to work across multiple devices . The notable difference in the logo is the change in the typeface . The colors remained the same; however, Google switched to a modern, geometric sans - serif typeface called Product Sans, created in - house at Google (and also used for the Alphabet logo). </P> <P> The first Google Doodle was in honor of the Burning Man Festival of 1998 . The doodle was designed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to notify users of their absence in case the servers crashed . Subsequent Google Doodles were designed by an outside contractor, until Larry and Sergey asked then - intern Dennis Hwang to design a logo for Bastille Day in 2000 . Hwang has been designing the Google Doodles ever since . </P>
