Mashable Goes Behind the Scenes of Google Doodles

We've all stumbled upon a Doodle at some point and wondered which news story, anniversary or event the Google logo has been redesigned to commemorate. Now curious Googlers can take a behind-the-scenes look at how Doodles are created thanks to social media news site Mashable.

From Leonardo da Vinci and the first man on the moon to the French Revolution and the 50th anniversary of Les Paul guitars, all kinds of major world events are commemorated with Google Doodles. But who makes them? And who decides which evens to choose?

Mashable has been behind the scenes to meet the people who design these logos—a group of artists with careers and experience that couldn't be more diverse. From former film animators to comic-book artists, this tiny team of Doodlers works with Google to source ideas and develop Doodles. Mashable's article describes how Doodles are chosen, as well as how they came about in the first place. It's also interesting to learn that although the team of artists is based in the US, they rely on Google's local offices around the world to suggest important national and regional events. Plus, while some subjects are chosen and developed a long time in advance, others are more spontaneous, coming together just a few hours before they go live!
