Dennis Hwang might be the most famous and yet unknown artist in the world. His work has been viewed hundreds of millions of times, but chances are that you have not heard of him. That is because Dennis Hwang is logo designer at Google. He has been drawing Google’s holiday logos since 2000.

“It’s always a fun kind of challenge to incorporate the logo into the design. Over the years, just because I kind of push myself to use different types of design if I can,” Hwang said.

He has been manipulating the six letters in the Google name into shamrocks, fireworks, hearts and goblins since shortly after he got an internship there in 2000. Company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin found out that he was an art major in college.

“They said ‘Hey Dennis, why don’t you give this a shot,’ and I’ve been doing it ever since,” he said.

Now he’s in charge of all Google’s webmasters, and designing the logos is only about 20 percent of his job — but that doesn’t mean it’s not a lot of work. Hwang said he had to do a string of all-nighters after he had what he called his “brilliant” idea to do individual designs for each of the 32 teams in this year’s World Cup soccer tournament.
