Google Diwali Logo

Google has always had some nifty logos on its homepage on all festive and important occasions. The last one I remember was on Halloween’s Day. Sometimes I wish Google also puts in Logos for regional festivals…at least on its country-specific sites (say Google.co.in). And its not like there aren’t any logos for Indian festivals and events! Balachander, a guy from Chennai has created few Google logos for Pongal as well as Diwali. Sample this:

Good work Bala! Check out the official Google Holiday Logos page as well as the unofficial Google Logos page created and maintained by self-confessing Google fans for more logos.

  1. Exactly ! Nice logo.
    I felt the same way and in fact wrote to them about this.
    They wrote back saying that they will consider it for future years.
    Hopefully soon.
    Too bad no one at google.co.in has taken any initiative .

    Safalta Kadam Chumti rahe,
