Here are a few obscure doodled Google Logos:

This logo, for example, ran in June to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the video game Tetris. While game enthusiasts might have been amused, lots of people were probably just puzzled.

On May 18, 2008, Google celebrated the 125th birthday of Walter Gropius, a renowned architect known for incorporating modern technology into his building designs.

Google written in Braille appeared on the home page on Jan. 4, 2006. A nice tribute to Louis Braille, who created a reading system for the visually impaired, perhaps, but the color-coded signage is useless to anyone for whom Braille is actually intended.

Google paid tribute to the invention of the first laser on May 16, 2008, with this illuminating display.

Google celebrated the Persian New Year on March 20, 2006, with a capital G followed by traditional symbols of the holiday. This is among a handful of logos that upset some people who complained that Google did not alter the logo for some important U.S. holidays, while recognizing other countries’ special days.
