You can browse their holiday logos as far back as 1999 here

Well, at least they got one for The Fourth:



EDIT

I just got off the phone w/ Google, asking the lady who I need to speak to regarding the Holiday Logo, or lack thereof.
I also asked her if there is a special logo planned for the upcoming holidy.
"Which one?", she replied.
Memorial Day I answered.
"Umm...."

How so? I was merely stating an observation. If Google can praise World Water Day then why can't they honor our troops on at least one of the veteran/military holidays? Seems odd to me considering they're an American-based company.

Cause you guys just sound like a bunch of whiny lil girls complaining that the local HS Captain of the football team didnt say hi to you when he walked by.

Just my take of course..

Who fen cares about googles bloody logo. Those guys prob do more work for the gov then anyone here knows. (they sure as hell have pushed the limits of distributed filesystem, distributed database indexing, and a whole host of other technologies that you can bet your *** the gov uses. (if they dont they should be damnit)

Seriously??

I will not lecture you in the use of technology by .gov or .mil (as i am not qualified to do so) but if you cant figure out how manipulation of large data sets in the most efficent manner possible would aid current servicemen then well.. this discussion is over.
