Whether they are calling it a birthday or anniversary, Google is celebrating its 13th year with a new Google Doodle! I still remember the first days of Google and how word traveled fast about this new search engine with an uncluttered home page.

Just for fun, let’s take a quick look back at the Google Birthday Doodles of the past!

Google’s 12th Birthday Doodle (2010)

Google’s 11th Birthday Doodle (2009) – a bit bland don’t you think?

Google’s 10th Birthday Doodle (2008)

They really went all out on this birthday and created a special page promoting their Project 10¹⁰⁰ and even created an interactive Google Timeline highlighting their first 10 years.

Google’s 9th Birthday Doodle – it’s pinata party time! (2007)

Google’s 8th Birthday Doodle (2006)

Google’s 7th Birthday Doodle (2005)

Google’s 6th Birthday Doodle (2004)

Google’s 5th Birthday Doodle (2003)

Back on September 27, 2002, Google created it’s first Google Doodle to mark their 4th birthday:

Who would have thought that 13 years later this little search engine would be so massive and continually introducing amazing products like Google Maps or that their stock would sky rocket? At the time of this writing, it’s sitting pretty at almost $532 per share.

Happy 13th Birthday Google!
