Here's the response I got to my nastygram...

Thank you for your note. We understand your interest in seeing a Memorial Day Google logo. 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.

We have a long list of holidays that we'd like to celebrate in the future. We have to balance this rotating calendar with the need to maintain the consistency of the Google homepage. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the Google logo, and please be assured that we're actively pursuing ways in which we can acknowledge Memorial Day and other such occasions in the future.

Regards,
The Google Team

Just another case of selective inclusiveness.

I seem to recall that their Martin Luther King Day logo wasn't humorous. Oh well, what can you expect from a company that assists communist China in suppressing their people.

We have to balance this rotating calendar with the need to maintain the consistency of the Google homepage.

Translation: We [Google] have set an arbitrary number of holidays per year that we celebrate and Memorial Day did not make the cut.

Merry Christmas (apparently not) from the Google Grinches:

Happy Holidays from Google

Ridiculous. Is Google so lacking in imagination that they can't come up with a reverent logo for Memorial Day? Their competition did.

As I've mentioned, Google is no longer on my favorites list. I'm not going to support an organization that goes out of it's way to snub the men and women who have died for this country.
