To mark it’s 17th birthday, Google created a cute Doodle, in its signature style. Google Doodle that appears on the homepage of Google shows 90s style PC with a keyboard on a table with 1998’s “Google!” logo in it, along with a retro and a lava lamp. A year before that, the google.com domain was officially registered on 15 September, according to the official history. However, true-blue tech fans would remember this “birth date” had changed a number of times in the past. In 2005, it celebrated on September 26.

Google has celebrated its birthday with a Doodle every year since its fourth birthday in 2002.
But you will be surprised to know that despite having answers of almost everything, it really don’t know when it was born. The pictures are an homage to how Google started in its early days.
Google’s 17th birthday has also caused some confusion, namely over the real birthday date.
On the other side, there is a server made of Lego bricks.
Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were studying Ph.D at Stanford University.

The company filed incorporation papers on 4 September 1998. But Google’s fifth birthday was on September 8, 2003, while in 2004, the 6th birthday was on September 7. However, the first Doodle, for the Burning Man festival in 1998, actually occurred before the company was technically founded.
