Its normal. What gives? They don’t do anything on/for Easter?
Apparently not. Good catch, though - I didn’t even notice the lack of design.
Look at their back catalog they haven’t done anything since 2001 when the logo was the same but they turned the O in the results page into eggs.
I was hoping a search for certain words (easter, easter egg, easter bunny, hidden egg) might turn up some hidden eggs but to no avail.
Let me guess, Google hates Jesus now…
The Bill O’Reilly-led boycott begins tomorrow.
WAG: maybe they don’t want to get involved in deciding which day is the “real” Easter? Internationally, the Orthodox Easter is observed at much higher rates than the Easter we celebrate. http://www.smart.net/~mmontes/Eastdiff.html
Nonononononononono…they brought back the OLD Google design from yesterday.
You see…it died a few days ago…and now…it’s back. How much MORE Easter-ish do you want?
Verily.
Respect for myself was never the question however…
Google hasn’t noted Easter since 2001. Possibly, there’s some kind of a policy to keep it as secular and all-encompassing as possible, seeing as even Christmas doesn’t feature Jesus in their logos. Pity, that. A couple of eggs and bunny wouldn’t have been such a big deal, surely?
Yes it would have been a big deal.
Stop calling me Shirley!
Ah, good point.
So what about Thanksgiving? It always falls on a different day too, plus Canada has is sometime in Oct while in the US it’s in Nov.
I wonder if they observe Chinese New Year? Just sayin…
Yes, they do, as a matter of fact. They do a logo around Year of the Dog, Rat, etc.
[url=“http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html”]Here you go, Ludovic – they’ve done three New Year’s logos so far this year: the Western New Year, the Lunar New Year (aka Chinese, the “Year of the Dog”), and the Persian New Year.
Let me guess. You’re just sayin …
whine My religous holiday isn’t properly recognized by some private company. whine
I wonder if they will ever honor Charles Darwin’s birthday.
Hey, they don’t do any Indian holidays. I don’t care, I really don’t, but wouldn’t it be pretty to see some *deepas *or something?
To be honest, maybe they did and I never noticed! 
They don’t do the same ones every year. Sens 'em an e-mail with a few proposals for Indian holidays and they just might do one.
I read in the book The Google Story that the Google Lawyers told the Google Guys they should keep the Google Holiday Logos as Google secular as Google possible.
I’m pretty sure google.ca has a cornucopia-type design up on the second monday of October. Dunno if the .com site does too, as my browser defaults me to the .ca one unless I force it not to.
