Sorry for the bump, but I guess Google doesn't celebrate Memorial Day either. :blink: <_<

They do have a gold ribbon on the bottom of the page, but no special logo or anything.

I'm also into corporate branding...and I think Google is stepping away from Google Doodles.

If you look at how they're re-branding their websites with a much more serious, uniform look, and how un-serious their doodles are...it's like night and day.

Prime example of re-branding:

I also have a different theory for why the doodles have ceased: the economy. Maybe Dennis Hwang was laid off. Who knows? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Seems that plain logos is the thing nowadays. It used to be how fancy companies tried to make their logos and products, but now they are making them look plain and simple like in the "pre-90's" era.

That is my favorite re-brand in the "Simpl-era" so far.
