In 1998, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin created a playful out-of-office graphic on the Google homepage to announce their attendance at the Burning Man festival. This simple gesture sparked the creation of Google Doodles, which have evolved over 25 years from quirky logo remixes into immersive experiences celebrating global heroes, events, and cultures.

The story of Doodles illustrates the power of unintended consequences and how impactful ideas can arise from casual side projects, capturing the hearts of millions worldwide.
