Google: Lego Brick 50th Anniversary Celebration
January 28, 2008 – 5:38 am | Written by KiwiPulse
Have you seen the new logo from Google’s Homepage? Google have updated their logo in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the popular plastic brick, the Lego Brick. The popular toy started his journey in 1932 in the workshop of his creator, Ole Kirk Christiansen. Kirk began creating wooden toys then his company had expanded to producing plastic toys in 1947, but not yet with the brick design. It was only until 1958 that the modern-day brick design was developed and it took another five years to find exactly the right material for it. The Lego brick was patented on January 28, 1958 and the bricks from that year are still compatible with the bricks today!
LEGO Bricks have released over 100 new items for this celebration. I have selected my favorite items below. You can see more at Lego.com.
Happy 50th Birthday LEGO Brick!

Nice to be reminded of lego. I had them when I was a kid and passed the fondness for the toy to my sons. They all grew up on lego and still keep these toys for their children. Thanks for the post, I will tell them about the toy’s birthday.
Would there be any special offers of some kind for this occasion? –Durano, done!
