Monday is Google's twelfth birthday and the search giant is celebrating once again with a new Google Doodle on its homepage. This year's doodle is a painting by American artist Wayne Thiebaud and features a simple birthday cake with Google's logo and one candle. Thiebaud, born in 1920, is well known for painting images of cakes, ice cream, candy and toys.
It's not clear how the company decides when to celebrate its birthday as Google.com was registered on September 15, 1997 and Google wasn't incorporated until September 4, 1998. The company has also celebrated its birthday on September 7 instead of September 27 on at least two occasions. Regardless, it's been at least twelve years since Google became an indispensable way to help us navigate the Web. So in celebration of Google's birthday, here's a look back at Google's annual birthday doodles.
