History And Evolution of Google Logo

A look at the Google logo since its birth in 1997 and how its logo has evolved in designs, colors and fonts.

Logo	Period	Notes
	1997	This logo was used during Google's developing stage at Stanford University.
	1998	This shortlived logo was used only for a month. The typeface used for the logo is Baskerville Bold.
	1998-1999	The uppercase "G" was repaced with a blue color and the multi-colored logo design took shape. An exclamation mark was added at the end of the wordmark, possibly to mimic the Yahoo! logo.
	1999-2000	So far the longest used logo of Google, featuring the font Catull BQ and a rotated letter "e".
	2010-2013	Launched in 2010, this logo is just like the previous logo, except that the colors on the letters now have brighter tones and the shadows behind them have been reduced.
	2013-2015	The logo was given a two-dimensional effect, with shadows removed and angles straightened to fit more in line with Google's most recent products.
	2015-Present	On September 1, 2015, Google introduced a new logo, replacing the previous logo's serifed typeface (Catull) with a simplified sans-serifed typeface called Product Sans.
