They have managed to do a ton and so far, IMHO, have managed to live up to the "Not Evil" creed. - .Steven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6http://images.google.com.au/images?safe=off&l&q=site%3Agoogle.com+inurl%3Alogos
- neoknight, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3Happy Birthday Mr. Google, Happy Birthday to you!
- thomasprebble, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Congrats Google. Wish you many more to come :-)
- Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html
- mayurpatil, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Happy Birthday.Btw wen is the party ?
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It took me ages to notice the second 'g' in Google was replaced with an '8' in that logo.
- CDefense7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Yes, the second g is an 8, but you'd think they could have at least put 8 candles in the cupcake.
- sxlixz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2who cares really? we all visit google everyday. why is this news? the b'day logo is news? wtf. no digg. go find something original and of substance. im tired of all you diggers that do this.
- changyang1230, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@Cdefense
It's actually a VIII, as explained as Soave below. - larah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there are only 5 candles on the cupcake... google makes "oogles" of cash... cant they afford 3 more... :)
- Monolith2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41Links to past Google birthday logos:
- RobDeBob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Fulfilling every young man's need for research, effective mail, video, advertising, and mapping services, and of course hot XXX pr0n for eight years. Entirely free of charge.
THANK YOU, Google. - jacobo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+23stupid question: Why 5 candles instead of 8 ?
- ScottTaylor, on 10/12/2007, -21/+4was thinking the exact thing...
- Soave, on 10/12/2007, -1/+81VIII
- cyberdash, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Wow. Wouldn't even noticed that. Someone has a lot of time on ther hands... too much.
As a matter of fact I think that I saw an article on google about the guy who does the logos.

If you want to read that - changyang1230, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@soave
Your comment must have been the highest digg / comment characters in digg. I must say it's really brilliant though.
- ScottTaylor, on 10/12/2007, -21/+4was thinking the exact thing...
- DirkBelig, on 10/12/2007, -32/+3This explains why they didn't have anything for 9/11 while Dogpile did: They were working on their birthday gif.
- thomasprebble, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Are you ***** serious? As sad as it was to some 9/11 means nothing in the grand scheme of things. If they started doing art for 9/11 then they'd be obliged to do the same for the numerous other massacres.
- Frebis, on 10/12/2007, -10/+19/11 means nothing?
3000+ dead - check
2 wars - check
divided a country - check
changed the way airline travel works - check
Google turning 8 means nothing. A couplke of guys get rch, and the search engine which had potential gets ***** and *****. Think about what will mean more in the end 9/11, or google turning 8???? - Ennoch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Google's birthday is more likely to have a long-term effect on our culture, IMHO. But then, I'm not American.
- Crizack, on 10/12/2007, -20/+5Eight years of great porn searches! Happy Birthday Google!
- FzArEkTaH, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1why would people digg that down? i would best money that 90% of the people who dugg you down have also used google to find porn - you got my vote!
- harris2004, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5canadian version looks like a muffin...
- IEatHamburgers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tim Horton's must have some affiliation with Google.
- nimawin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0umm... the logo for Google US and Google Canada are the same...
- iFrank, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Google.
Happy Birthday to you!
Yay!- apache2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+65uh, I hope you gained permission to write that on here, or the RIAA will come after you...

Your post proves once and for all that you are not, in fact, mighty. - mercano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Futurama copyright-free version:
What day is today?
Its Google's birthday
What a day for a birthday
Lets all have some cake
- thydzik, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18yay, 8 years of saved searches.
- danielxmorris, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1It certainly doesn't seem like 8 years, that would make me 12 when Google was born, or does it include Backrub?
- HypnotiQBen84, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38 is great.
- ayam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Google History
http://www.google.com/corporate/history.html - veniv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Happy Birthday Google! Can't imagine the internet without you.
- thecashcow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Go Google Go :)
- thepuma77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3 Wow, only 8 yrs!
I feel like I have been using Google all my life.
I don't know what I would do without it!
Can't wait for the decade milestone. - kolop1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I remember HOTBOT before Google. Thank God for Google.
- ARAM, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I work as a scriptwriter for a quiz show... And right now can't imagine my work without Google.
Many, many thanks.
Bye!
(Y que cumplas muchos más) - Linh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i feel left out... i don't get the logo for the personalized homepage.
- unsliced, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ahhhh. I remember it is a baby when it was just a server @stanford.edu ....
- Garfunkel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Happy birthday Google! i know you will live for quite a while judging by your last balance sheet...
- kinstray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Woot, I share a birthday with Google! I'm 22 today :o)
- lozzd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7And Happy Birthday to you too!
- manuelhp42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Happy birthday! Gotta love those doodles they come up with all the time.
- apoorvs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I thank google as a developer.
- Dotnetsky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Groogle! Hasn't even reached puberty.
- nusuni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Could you guys even imagine what people would say if we went back to 1998 and told them within 8 years there would be a service that has billions of web pages at your fingertips...
Happy birthday Google (and kinstray). - Mirroex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What the hell did we do before the big G? Did we even think the same way, ask the question the the air and say hmmm and get back to eating our bacon? I too cant imagine life without it...my extended brain. I'd be trapped in my stupid little world making up my own narrow answers and having to pretend I'm the authority. (Now of course I can say "saw it on the innernet" and I'm off the hook) but at least I can figure ***** out with a few other voices to assist. Thank freakin god for Google and their ilk.
- zongamin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15 is the 8
- amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The only thing the image is missing is the words: "Blow us." beneath the cake.
- Sammy20, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Google for life!
***** microsoft. - FzArEkTaH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So how long until this is a paid holiday!?!?!?!
- carbonSunset, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Google is evil too.
- sonu27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It was also my birthday.
See the post on my blog: http://arai.wordpress.com/2006/09/27/google-8-me-18-happy-birthday-to-google-and-me/ - sweetseptember, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Google is like breathing, never properly appreciated until it doesn't work. Happy Birthday Google and many many more!!!
