In honor of their 10th birthday, Google has brought back their oldest available index, or Google Doodle, from January 2001.
This gallery features 10 retro Google logos which are at least five years old. How Google has changed... bless!
These graphics illustrate how ridiculously fast Google has grown in only ten years. The retro Olympics logo is particularly groovy.
So, Happy Birthday Google!
