I enjoy looking at google’s logo changes to commemorate special events and occassions; because sometimes I forget an occassion is coming up and when I see google’s logo it also helps to remind me of the upcoming occassion!
I agree with Marie it reminds any events..Nice collection..
Marie and ShaDow: Hi guys 🙂 … I like the older logo tweaks they made like the Dilbert Doodle. Even if their recent commemorative logos are not as fun as they used to be, they’re actually pretty useful in reminding us of important events all throughout the year. 🙂
