The Story of the Google Logo

When designing the classic Google logo we all know, the designers wanted to go with the natural colors of red, blue, and yellow. These are the primary colors, but you may have noticed that there is some green in the logo. The reason they chose to throw green in their is because "Google doesn't follow the rules." Rules is clearly referring to the fact that they didn't stick to their primary color pattern. The first official Google logo was created in 1998 by Sergey Brin, but the current official logo was created by Ruth Kedar. Google also has specialty logo designs that can be seen on holidays, famous icons' birthdays, days of major tragedies, and when Google has their "Doodle4Google" competition. Google also uses a favicon that includes a plain, white, lowercase g and a blue background that appears when in a web browser. The Google logo changes very often and their are different variations of their logo for different medias.
