No Google Special Logo for Memorial Day
CDS ^ | 5/31/2010 | Chris Banescu

Google has once again failed to commemorate Memorial Day with a special logo. Google has ignored this special day every year since 1999, when it first began using special logos on its main page. The only reminder of this important day on Google’s home page is a tiny graphic of a yellow ribbon superimposed on a small American flag.

Google is a private enterprise, and as such, is free to do as it pleases, within the realm of the law.

The flag with yellow ribbon and "in honor of" statement was a lot more than I expected from that crowd.

That PacMan logo they had about a week ago that played the actual game was pretty sweet.

For today, putting the flag with the little note is not bad for them.

At least this year below the box where you type in your search this is there with an American flag and yellow ribbon

"In honor of the soldiers who have given their lives for our country."

Tribute is there, they did not change there logo, but there is a very respectful tribute to our soldiers.

There is no tribute on mine. I wonder if one’s IP address has something to do with it.

Ever hear of the phrase, "damning with faint praise"?

Only because Muslims don’t celebrate Memorial Day (ie. Obama).
