Today is Luciano Pavarotti's birthday, and Google is honoring him with a special logo. The Italian tenor died earlier this year.

On a side-note, Google once gave the following reason when being asked why they don't create a special Memorial Day logo for the US: <<If we were to commemorate this holiday, we'd want to express reverence; however, as Google's special logos tend to be lighthearted in nature, this would be a particularly challenging design. We wouldn't want to create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful in any way.>> http://www.zombietime.com/google_memorial_day_logo/ |
I actually noticed this logo before you posted this for once, I hardly ever visit the Homepage as I just use the Search box in Firefox but I was testing the update to the Internet Channel on the Wii and saw it. (but forgot to post) |
I like this, thanks, Google! Luciano is my idol, and it's nice to see this! Happy Birthday, Maestro! RIP |
Happy Birthday!! Very nice!! I am listening to him right now!! |
