To keep you all stimulated here’s an NPR interview with the man behind all Official Google Logos. What a sweet gig eh? His name is Dennis Hwang a 26 year old Stanford Fine Arts graduate who also happened to minor in Computer Science. He started out as an intern and is currently the international webmaster and in his spare time he creates variants of the Google logo. There are more details from various sources, Digital Inspiration (also includes links to a bunch of other Google Logo resources), Toronto Star, Korean Herald, SFGate, and JSOnline just to name a few. And just to let you know, there is a chance of your very own Google logo featured on the popular search engine, it just doesn’t happen that often. How did this all get started?

Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company’s founders, had been experimenting with revisions to the Google logo for special events (in 1999, the first time they tried it, they added a “burning man” to the logo to let pals know they’d be at the Burning Man festival in Nevada for a few days). But Page and Brin were unhappy with the quality of the drawings they were getting from a freelancer. On one occasion, they asked Hwang, knowing that he was an art major, to redraw one of the submissions. He did it and it was exactly what they were looking for.

Well, This site will be thankful to Dennis Hwang who is behind most of the logos on this site.

I had the idea to start a place where I can archive all google logos and my other intrests related to google. Though more than 80% of my blog carries google related posts, I didnt want to put the google logos and graphics there because the blog might become too messy with many things in there. Being a wordpress fan lately, I decided to blog for google logos or other graphics using wordpress. I know there are already many sites on the net dedicated for google graphics and other things, but I am not bothered. I’ll just keep collecting.

Lets see how it goes…
