#30YearsofGIFs
In 2017, the GIF marked its 30th year of existence. Invented as a lossless picture display format by Steve Wilhite of Compuserve (later sold off to AOL) in 1987, the animated version made its appearance circa 1994. In honour of this significant anniversary, my blog Gifville played host to specially designed GIFs depicting the first wave of animated pieces from the 1990s - the dawn of the Internet.
The GIF turned thirty on the 15th June 2017. The #30YearsofGIFs series was launched in August that same year, and ran until September.
