Google is celebrating its 28th birthday today with a special Doodle on its homepage, bringing back a nostalgic look at the company's early logo. The tribute marks nearly three decades since two Stanford students turned a class project into one of the biggest technology companies in the world.
But there is a small catch. September 27 is not actually the date Google was legally formed. That distinction belongs to September 4, 1998, the day the company was officially incorporated. So why does Google celebrate its birthday more than three weeks later?
