Google Finally Adds Moon Themed Logo

YouTube and Bing also honor the First Moon Landing

UPDATE 2: It looks as though Google waited until we actually landed on the Moon to update their logo. Well played Google, well played.

UPDATE 1:
Well it seems Google has heard our complaints, as they've updated their homepage with the following logo. Anyone else think it's a little late?

What do you think of the logo? Tell us.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Forty years ago today Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin forever changed mankind with their historic walk on the lunar surface. With today being the 40th anniversary, of quite possibly the single greatest moment in modern history, you would think a lot sites would be honoring the event, right?

Well, currently we've found two: YouTube and Bing. (If you know of more - let us know)

Bing has changed their daily background image to feature a shot of the Moon.

Another Twitterer even points out that Google decided to do a logo for YouTube... but not for the main Google logo. Anyone else find that kind of odd?

Strange

Its a bit strange. Usually Google has a custom logo for almost every special days or occasions. I wonder what exactly happened.

Google really missed the

Google really missed the boat, like you said they honor events such as the anniversary of Tetris - but not the Moon Landing?

Is the logo designer on vacation?
