Google is big, very big. They are the geniuses of the Internet, the ones who have been able to revolutionize everything and from whom after the jump I leave you an extensive compilation of the best designs they have made for their home page, which, as you well know, changes according to what events.

Name Google it's a play on words between the number gogol (googol)13 (term improvised by the nine-year-old nephew of Edward kasner, Milton Sirotta, in 1938, representing 10 to the 100th power) and goggles.
There is also a search engine for images, newsgroups and directory. The technique that allows a page to be positioned in a good position on a search engine is web positioning(also known as PageRank) patented by Google.
In addition to the local sites of each country there is the Custom Home Page of Google in which in addition to the classic search engine, you can add links, thematic news, and a look at the Google mail inbox gmail.
