In 1998, Google was formalized as a legal entity. The founders of this system are Sergey Brin (a former compatriot, born in Moscow on August 21, 1973) and Larry Page (born in the USA, Michigan, born on March 26, 1973). They met in 1995 at Stanford. In January 1996, as students, they began working together on the creation of the BackRub search engine, which in the future will be called Google. Later, when the result is successful, they will start looking for investors. But all of them, at that time, well-known companies will refuse, referring to the fact that the Google search engine is no different from their search engines. But later they will realize how much they were wrong, because. The Google search engine differed from all previous search engines in that which was a program for searching for any information on the World Wide Web and showed search results in descending order of their relevance. Whereas other search engines simply found words in a query string with words on web pages. In August 1998, Andy Bechtolsheim (co-founder of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) took a risk by giving Larry and Sergei $100,000 and paid off. At the end of the same year, Google was one of the top 100 most visited websites. Google was named by Larry Page and Sean Anderson. It comes from the word Googleplex, which means a large number. On the same day, Larry registered his offspring as Google. However, the next day they learn from Tamara Manzner that Google is misspelled. Its correct spelling is googol. But the name of the search engine has already been registered as Google. Therefore, they had no choice but to leave the “wrong name". The logo design was created by Sergey Brin. they did not have the funds to pay for the services of a designer. The design was very simple: multi-colored letters of the Google logo were placed on a white background. To this day, nothing has changed in its design. Now Google is developing more and more, creating its own Google Chrome browser, buying well-known services (YouTube and others), entering the market of operating systems with OS-Google Android and much more. And every day more and more users on the Internet use the Google search engine. To this day, nothing has changed in its design.
