The idea was to name a company \u201cGoogol\u201d, and the word itself means 10 raised to the 100th power. As we can see in millions of search results, the name describes the company just fine. And so, misspelled word has become a point of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turned out, the first <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\">logo design<\/a> was designed by the founders of the company for free. It looked awful, to say the least, devoid of meaning and style. <strong>The first logo history started in 1996.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank goodness, this fail variation didn\u2019t last long. Larry Page and Sergei Brin asked Ruth Kedar, a design teacher, who invented a new Google logo. It truly was a brainstorm! Ruth came up with options, trying to define the idea, but all of them were rejected. Maybe Ruth\u2019s problem was that she tried to endow the logo with too many senses. The options were ranging from a point-blank to a magnifier, but no option was good enough. The solution, however, was quite obvious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"google_logo_font\"><\/span>Google logo font<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Font for Google logo was based upon <strong>Catull \u2013 an old font of serif type<\/strong>. The type is known for being <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/vintage-logo\/\">vintage<\/a> and possessing a story behind itself, and that manifested it as an intergenerational search engine. And once Ruth added color to the font \u2013 all the previous options became obsolete. This Google logo, with suitable colors and symbolic implication, reflects well the company\u2019s core ideals and comfort brought by search technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_these_colors_work_for_google\"><\/span>Why These Colors Work for Google<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google deliberately uses three primary colors \u2014 blue, red, and yellow \u2014 then breaks the pattern with a secondary color: green. This subtle disruption symbolizes Google\u2019s unconventional thinking and commitment to innovation. Each color evokes a distinct emotion and helps communicate Google\u2019s mission: to make information accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"google_logo_colors_and_their_hex_codes\"><\/span>Google Logo Colors and Their HEX Codes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Blue<\/strong> \u2013 #4285F4: Trust, professionalism, and stability.<\/li><li><strong>Red<\/strong> \u2013 #EA4335: Energy, excitement, and boldness.<\/li><li><strong>Yellow<\/strong> \u2013 #FBBC05: Creativity, optimism, and warmth.<\/li><li><strong>Green<\/strong> \u2013 #34A853: Growth, uniqueness, and freshness.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_googles_colors_compare_to_other_tech_brands\"><\/span>How Google\u2019s Colors Compare to Other Tech Brands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Brand<\/th><th>Colors<\/th><th>Style<\/th><th>Symbolism<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Google<\/a><\/td><td>Blue, Red, Yellow, Green<\/td><td>Playful, minimalist<\/td><td>Diversity, accessibility, creativity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/\">Microsoft<\/a><\/td><td>Blue, Red, Yellow, Green<\/td><td>Structured, corporate<\/td><td>Balance, system, professionalism<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/\">Meta<\/a><\/td><td>Blue<\/td><td>Modern, tech-focused<\/td><td>Connectivity, trust, calmness<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/apple\/\">Apple<\/a><\/td><td>Monochrome (Black, White, Gray)<\/td><td>Elegant, premium<\/td><td>Innovation, luxury, clarity<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try Google\u2019s Colors in Your Logo<\/strong> \u2014 enter HEX codes and see how your brand looks with them! <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/logo-maker\">Create a Logo Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"google_logo_evolution\"><\/span>Google Logo evolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to most companies, who seldom change their logo, Google is always ready to try something new. How come? It is all thanks to the company\u2019s unique ability. The logo is always the first thing to see when you run your browser, every morning and evening. So, Google doesn\u2019t have to care about rebranding adverts. They just change their logo and the whole world is aware of it the next moment. Given the situation, you can alter your logo in any manner you see fit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"history_of_google_doodle\"><\/span>History of Google Doodle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085008\/Google-logo-doodles.png\" alt=\"Google logo doodles\" class=\"wp-image-1155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085008\/Google-logo-doodles.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085008\/Google-logo-doodles-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085008\/Google-logo-doodles-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085008\/Google-logo-doodles.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing was noticed when the Burning Man fest logo had been added up to Google\u2019s in 1998. Users and officials liked the idea and little by little became an institution. These witty Doodles started to appear more frequently, and finally, they were given a funny animation. Goggle today is even ready to alter its logo for every single user! Such a super-individual approach it is! If you have your personal Google account filled, and you visit Google on your birthday \u2013 you\u2019ll get your personal Doodle. One might consider a petty picture insignificant, but for many others, it\u2019s a good reason to like the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-doodles-2.png\" alt=\"Google logo doodles 2\" class=\"wp-image-1153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-doodles-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-doodles-2-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-doodles-2-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-doodles-2.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"history_of_google_logo\"><\/span>History of Google logo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1998.png\" alt=\"Google logo, 1998\" class=\"wp-image-1150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1998.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1998-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1998-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1998.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1999.png\" alt=\"Google logo, 1999\" class=\"wp-image-1151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1999.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1999-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1999-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085011\/Google-logo-1999.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085010\/Google-logo-2013.png\" alt=\"Google logo, 2013\" class=\"wp-image-1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085010\/Google-logo-2013.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085010\/Google-logo-2013-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085010\/Google-logo-2013-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085010\/Google-logo-2013.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Google&#8217;s logo was altered a bit in the upcoming years. Though the main ideas still were there. A simple inscription became even simpler. First, shadows under the letters were removed, and then letter volume disappeared, dictating flat-design trends. However, the overall lightness of the logo and its vividness and allurement was preserved. A rainbow color combination was quite original, provided it ignored the color circle rules, as rules as such exist only to be skillfully broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-2015.png\" alt=\"Google logo, 2015\" class=\"wp-image-1154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-2015.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-2015-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-2015-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2019\/09\/19085009\/Google-logo-2015.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth mentioning that a virtual logo, in contrast to printed on bags or boxes, has many advantages. First of all, it can be animated. For example, using Google helper, you might notice the logo bursting into dots, imitating voice equalizer. All these small things are not to be neglected, as in the world of modern techs you simply can\u2019t afford to ignore trends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"google_logo_meaning\"><\/span>Google logo meaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hidden meaning of the Google logotype is messaged with bright colors, not crazy font or symbols.
