Every year Google releases a Doodle, a drawing on the homepage, to celebrate the new year. However, the Lunar New Year Doodle and the New Year Doodle have many differences.
2010
In 2010 in Asia, Google used a tiger image to represent that year’s zodiac.
As for Europe, the image is simpler, only Google-shaped fireworks.
2011
Asian New Year 2011 with Google is not much different, still a symbolic animal.
For Europe, Google uses its own Roman numeral ‘MMXI’ quite creatively.
Year 2012
Asia’s 2012 is still the same as previous years, it seems that Google is quite lazy.
Europe isn’t very clear, if you don’t look at the top right-hand calendar.
2013
Still a mascot, why is Google so lazy!
Doodle this time seems to have more atmosphere when creating the scene of New Year’s cleaning.
Year 2014
In 2014, Google made its own doodle for Vietnam.
For Europe, Google has streamed GIF images to describe hot things of the year such as the World Cup, Flappy Bird…
2015
‘This year’s Asian New Year’s mascot is a goat, so a doodle just needs a goat,’ Google thought.
And 2015 only has fireworks, it seems that this year, Google is lazy for both.
2016
In 2016, Google had a certain creation, although it is still a mascot, but much more beautiful.
With Europe, the Tet atmosphere in the doodle is quite lively and clear.
2017
In 2017, Google is lazy with the Asian New Year.
With Europe, the Tet atmosphere in the doodle is quite lively and clear. The GIF image for Europe this time is quite childish but still exudes the Tet atmosphere.
