Google celebrated Independence Day in the U.S. with the company’s 13th July 4-themed Doodle. Check out some history about the 4th of July google doodle and see them for yourself!

For Google of late, the design is fairly restrained — there’s no animation, games or puzzles, just the logo in red, white and blue with the words “this land was made for you and me” punctuated by an acoustic guitar for an “L.”

Google has been offering a Fourth of July Doodle since 1999, making it the second-longest running Doodle next to Thanksgiving, according to Search Engine Watch.
