History of Google

Google first started as a Stanford project called Back Rub. Here was the logo for "Back Rub".
BackRub was soon changed to Google which is a misspelled version of googol, which is 10^100. This is the google logo before its launch in 1997. When Google was launched in 1998 the logo was changed to this ---------------->
          Soon after it was launched they added an exclamation point to the end of google which was probably inspired by the yahoo logo at the time. After testing multiply different color ways for the Google logo they finally landed the final design. Designer Kedar said that "We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order, we put a secondary color on the L, which brought back the idea that Google doesn't follow rules."

      The Google logo did get one more change in 2013 which removed the three-dimensional effect of the logo.
