Google Birthday with Wayne Thiebaud Painting as Google Doodle

Google celebrates its 12th Birthday with yet another 'doodle' painting of a cake by 89-year-old Los Angeles artist Wayne Thiebaud. This can be seen around the world on the home page of the search engine giant. The candle on the cake makes the shape of the alphabet "L" and completes the Google on the cake.

The California-based company was first incorporated as a privately held corporation on 27 September 1998. Thiebaud's work, reproduced by permission of VAGA, Visual Artists and Galleries Association, includes many cakes, most painted in the 1950s and 1960s.

This latest Doodle of Google sends a straight message of its birthday anniversary, however if we go and check out its doodles in the last couple of months some of very interesting observation can be made.

Google recently came up with a ball game animation that distracted millions of internet users and it is still a mystery. Before that "Buckyball" 25th anniversary was displayed with a with a special moving design doodle. Before that 30th birthday of Pac-Man was celebrated with the embedded game on the home page itself.
