Google always impresses me with the different designs they can think of year in and year out for everything.

I bet someday they hold some sort of contest where people can design their own Google logo variations and the best one gets put up there... not that Google needs promotion ideas now.

Wow. Too bad Google didn't stick with this early version (NB this is an actual Google logo, not a "fanclub" one).

I liked the one yesterday too, but the custom ones, as I said in my above post, well...
I don't know why the person's family would get mad - they are honoring the person for doing something to contribute to culture, but people are odd...

thats perverse... somebody is honoring one of your family members birthdays and you ask them to stop... who the hell cares!

people need to get a grip on life!

How retarded… a shame being spaniard… google had to tell those s*****s "hey!, would do you preffer we painted a nice nazi flag?, after all, Joan was born the same day than Adolf, but WE thouhg Joan Miró was a better choice!"

We better care about our signatures, they can be OK under MacNN rules, but for sure there is someone looking at them and willing to sue us !
