I can't sleep. And I did not know you could view old holiday logos like that.

I'd like to know why several international ones ARE posted in the link Conuly posted, but NOT the Canadian ones?? *sniff*

They are? I thought they were all ones that google.com had used... Sure St Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday, but I'm pretty certain google.com had a St Patrick's Day logo up regardless.

Sorry, I don't actually follow your reply. St Patrick's Day is celebrated here in the States (often with green beer and the like), and I didn't say that Google *hadn't* used those logos - the purpose of that page is to display various logos they've used in the past.

My point was that, for some reason, they included several nation-specific graphics in that MASTER (i.e., .com, not .de or .ie or .ca) list, but none of the Canadian ones.

They have things like: On November 15th, Shichi-go-san is celebrated in Japan, and Vive la France! Google celebrated Bastille Day (both in 2000 - http://www.google.com/holidaylogos00.html).

Other years have nation-specific graphics, as well. But I KNOW that they have done a graphic for Canadian Thanksgiving several times (I saved some), and I just wonder why those are not included. [I LIKE having the multi-national graphics included, just feeling a bit miffed that Canada didn't count, for some reason.]

Was I clearer that time? :-)

I love the one they did for Boy's Day (another Japanese holiday). I forget which year I saw it in, but I have a real fondness for the koi kites. Sadly, I forgot to hang any yesterday! Sigh.
