Explain This One To Me...
Google. Gotta love their logo art!
They celebrated the Summer Games in Beijing:
The 50th Anniversary of NASA:

Marc Chagall's Birthday (I don't even know who Marc Chagall is!):

The 4th of July (so I can't accuse them of being totally unpatriotic):

The First Day of Summer:

Father's Day:

Diego Velázquez's Birthday (don't know who he is either... I guess I'm uncultured!):

First hot air balloon flight:

Anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest:

Doodle 4 Google Competition: 'Up in the Clouds' by Grace Moon (VERY pretty, I think!!!):
125th Birthday of Walter Gropius (WHO?):

Invention of the First Laser (OOOH! I like this one!):

Mother's Day:

Design by Jeff Koons :
Earth Day :

First Day of Spring :

Persian New Year (wow! That is an interesting multi-cultural art logo!):

St. Patrick's Day (which happens to be my wedding anniversary!):

Alexander Graham Bell's Birthday (whew! I DO know who he is!):

Leap Year:

Happy Valentine's Day (totally cute logo!):

Chinese New Year:

50th anniversary of the LEGO brick (This one is my favorite!):

Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

New Year's Day 2008:

And that is just for this year!
So, what was the logo on Memorial Day? And what about today, September 11th?

I don't get it.

Hmmm... maybe any form of artwork depicting September 11 would be considered offensive or trivialising a serious issue? It would be difficult to do tastefully, that's for sure.

Strange....their stuff is usually so creative. You'd think they would have come up with something.

These are great pics!!! I didn't know they did this!!!
Don't feel bad. I don't know half of those guys either. Hopefully they did something important!
They should've done something for Memorial Day AND Sept. 11. Do they think they're NOT making a political statement by doing nothing? Wrong!!!
Oh well!!
Thanks for sharing these. Now I'm gonna have to look these up!!!
