A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's homepages intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures.
They're more than entertainment though. The Google Doodle will highlight major events and people that aren't always well-known but are significant to various communities around the world. In 2024, Google created a series of Google Doodles to honor essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
