Google Turns 28: Nostalgic Doodle Marks Milestone Birthday

Google is celebrating its 28th birthday with a nostalgic doodle reminiscent of its early years. The tech giant's milestone marks nearly three decades since its inception, during which it has grown to become one of the largest companies in the world.

The numbers are staggering: Alphabet Inc., Google's parent firm, boasts a market value of $4.2 trillion, only surpassed by Nvidia and Apple. Additionally, Google processes between 8.5 billion and 14 billion searches daily, dominating the global search engine market with a roughly 90% share.

Google has celebrated its birthdays in style over the years, with doodles nodding to previous milestones. For instance, it marked its 27th birthday in 2025 with its first-ever logo, while its 23rd and 22nd birthday doodles appeared in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
