First of all, LogoBlog feels proud to express that its Dad is number one in the world. 
Happy Father’s Day! This time amongst search engines, Google, Yahoo, Ask and Dogpile wonderfully demonstrated their versions to say “I love dad. He knows everything…”
LogoBlog proudly honors U.S. Memorial Day 2008 but we are badly missing Google’s logo design on this occasion. Yahoo! and Ask.com, even Dogpile, all commemorated Memorial Day, along with other holidays and events, but for some reason Google seems to be reluctant to do so.
Here is a collection of all those logo designs that remember soldiers & veterans lost in World War I:

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Earth Day than among the eye-catching logos of Google and Yahoo, with their endearing dress of environmental panoramas. I just acknowledged it earlier this morning, as Google was set as my default homepage.
I think this one is simply a scenic beauty! A logo that is decorously illustrated with a classic green touch. Isn’t it? I am pretty sure; Google has efficiently featured a wondrous logo for calling up environmental issues.
Okay, so what comes next? Yet another Earth Day Logo?! Yeah. This is Yahoo!
Just look at it… Recycling symbols in green are superbly infixed into Yahoo logo that fosters the friendship of “mankind” and “mother earth”.
Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement in the United States have almost become synonymous terms. His efforts for eradicating racial discrimination from the US federal and state laws have been commended on all platforms, by entities, institutions, organizations, governments and people. As a result of his struggle and work, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed every year to commemorate his efforts and to remind the world about his message of equality and justice.
Our search engines, like their tradition, depicted the spirit of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day in varied ways. Among them, some big names in search engines displayed the following logos/images on this special occasion.
Note: Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed as a holiday every year in the United States on the third Monday of January, around the time of King’s birthday. It is one of the four US federal holidays to honor an individual.
Martin Luther King Jr. was the lead spokesman of the nonviolent civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. He was assassinated in 1968.
For many years now, Google has customized its logo design in accordance with holidays, occasions, events and anniversaries. This trend was enthusiastically observed and largely appreciated. As a result, many websites and search engines followed course and started expressing their celebration mood in a communicative and graphical manner.
As the holiday season approaches, different websites feature the elements of revelry, joy, festivities and fun in them in varied ways. However, the search engines displayed these elements in ways no one else did.
Yahoo, in its signature Flash animated style, featured a snowman in one corner and gifts at the other, with Yahoo! in between as its holiday logo. Upon dragging the cursor to the logo, two children with a dog can be seen running towards the gifts. If you click the logo, Yahoo directs you to its Yahoo Events page where you can get recipes, shop, and do other activities related to holidays.
Dogpile had a simple demonstration of holiday fever. It shows its mascot, the Dog, in Santa’s uniform with a bag of goodies, standing in front of a Christmas tree. On clicking the Dog, the search engine takes you to a web search of Christmas cards, which was the theme for this year.
There isn’t much to describe SE Roundtable’s holiday logo, except that it is simple, significant and full of holiday spirit.
Ask probably had the most intelligently designed interface. At the first glance, it seemed that Ask used a Flash animation in its background. But if looked closely, pretty smart html coding that transforms certain elements into an animation of falling snowflakes was used. A must see for everyone. But it didn’t work on IE 6, as the version doesn’t support it.
