Google receives billions of searches daily in over 150 languages around the world and its servers are housed in over 20 data centers across the globe. While Google outgrew its garage setting and later moved to Mountain View, California (home of The Googleplex, its current headquarters), its commitment to making the world's information accessible to all and the 'relentless search for better answers' remains at the heart of the company. The inaugural Doodle, which had a worldwide reach, featured a stick figure in its logo telling site visitors that the company's entire staff was 'playing hooky' at the Burning Man Festival.

The company's spirit of being 'intentionally unconventional' continued in the years that followed, from Google's first server (which was made of Lego, housed in a cabinet built out of toy blocks), to the first ever Google Doodle, which was unveiled on August 30, 1998, and themed around the Burning Man Festival, an annual art and music event in the U.S. Signage at Google offices in Irvine, California, pictured in October 2020.
