It’s kind of fun to see Google change its logo to mark holidays throughout the year. I don’t know when this tradition started, but I began to enjoy them during the Olympic Games in Beijing when Google released a new logo every day. At the beginning of the new year, let’s look back to see how Google remembered 2008.
