DESIGN ELEMENTS, HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF GOOGLE LOGO
Shape and Font of the Google Logo
Originally nicknamed as “BackRub”, Google has experimented with various logos over the years. The current version of the Google logo was designed by Ruth Kedar. It consists of a very simple but powerful wordmark which features the company’s name using the Catull typeface.
The word “Google” is actually derived from the misspelling of “googol”, which means the digit 1, followed by 100 zeroes. The Google logo signifies the real objective of the company, that is, to supply infinite number of information on any desired subject.
Google constantly works on improvising and adding new innovative designs, commemorating different events and occasions. These designs are known as “Google Doodles”; an idea which was implemented in 1999. Dennis Hwang is responsible for creating the Google Doodles. His team has created more than 1500 “doodles” to date.
The Google logo showcases a very strong and dynamic brand. It is often considered as one of the world’s most popular and instantly recognizable logos.
