During the years following, namely 1998-2008, the homepage Google Doodles were very simple, and hardly blogworthy, iterations where in most cases one of the letters was replaced by an object or a small drawing was added to the logo.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The 2004 Leap Year Google Doodle was typical of the logos during 2002-2008:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1xgF9TWsSLUqW6H5qqFud8ko5eYmO4M_9FlWvGf6vUKhc662YLdKbF9mlevRIG2HkxaQsT6pilex9JUYFo6fNDgZ24W3gvXLvD2GguzKO_gq64J7-tqjBzX8darVX0Qaay14amWFiEuw/s1600/leapyear2004.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591127951884479202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1xgF9TWsSLUqW6H5qqFud8ko5eYmO4M_9FlWvGf6vUKhc662YLdKbF9mlevRIG2HkxaQsT6pilex9JUYFo6fNDgZ24W3gvXLvD2GguzKO_gq64J7-tqjBzX8darVX0Qaay14amWFiEuw/s400/leapyear2004.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 132px;" /></a><br /><br />Occasionally series of Doodles were created. Changing daily but honoring the same theme as in the case of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, The World Cup, Dilbert cartoons and a few other examples. But these, too, were largely unimpressive.<br /><br />As the years passed, the Google Doodles became more inventive and more imaginative. Some were even interactive, some animated and some so intensely illustrated, it was hard to make out the word Google.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The Happy Holidays Google Doodle in 2010:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUR3fohZl3HVAQksnPJ3IPq9TA76-TM9oq3NlZ7NGx3Mc56H8dcTa8U8jBlRc_lca9ZRIj86aMsju519Vi7pWt2OkeRNjvHXK9G8vzUrLcAoGmViU8vNvsUF91BbZCr1Q62fbaJeFDCQ0/s1600/happy+holidaysculturetour10-hp.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591128363923086466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUR3fohZl3HVAQksnPJ3IPq9TA76-TM9oq3NlZ7NGx3Mc56H8dcTa8U8jBlRc_lca9ZRIj86aMsju519Vi7pWt2OkeRNjvHXK9G8vzUrLcAoGmViU8vNvsUF91BbZCr1Q62fbaJeFDCQ0/s400/happy+holidaysculturetour10-hp.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 122px;" /></a><br /><br />Today, in the first post of this ongoing series, are the best of the Google Doodles honoring artists, designers and architects since 1998.
