By now, most Google users are accustomed to seeing Google
celebrate the birthdays of famous artists, scientists, and holidays or events.
Today, Google is celebrating its own birthday, as the search engine officially
turns 14 years old.
This year’s birthday Doodle is quite different than
previous entries. Yes, indeed it’s animated, which is a first for a birthday
logo. But the issue comes at the end of the animation.

As you arrive on Google’s homepage, you see a rectangular
chocolate cake bearing Google’s name, along with 14 candles. Slowly, the
chocolate cake is “eaten” away and the candles are compiled at the bottom of
the screen, and what’s left is a tray spelling out Google’s letters in the
usual combo of colors: blue, red, yellow, blue, green, red.
Except, there are a few pieces of the chocolate cake
remaining on the tray and what results is an unintentional Rorschach test.
Because those pieces of chocolate cake happen to spell out, more visibly, what
appears to be “Poople” In brown.
Earlier, when Google entered its teenage, it marked its 13th
birthday with a doodle that depicted the company logo with party hats placed on
each letter of its logo and a cake with balloons and gifts around. The Internet giant Google was found by Larry Page and Sergey
Brin in September 1998.
Here’s a look back at Google birthday Doodles through the
years:
