New Google logo on www.google.co.uk

There's a new and very tastefully executed logo on google.co.uk on the occasion of our Remembrance day.

It's much appreciated.

Nothing on google.com, though this is Veterans Day in the States.

We have it in Canada too.

Very nice gesture from Google.

But why not on the main site as well?
Ah well. I suppose the poppy symbol isn't used as widely in the U.S. so most people wouldn't understand it.
Shrug. It's nice.

It used to be. Through the '60s vet organizations and others sold paper poppies on the street for 5 or 10 cents apiece. It's almost impossible to find them anymore, along with parades and most other remembrances.

It must be that they consider google.com a worldwide property. Still, I could use a poppy today.

Very disappointing, Google.

Nicely done on the UK site.

The problem is as you say this isn't actively observed today. In the mind of the average American WWI is ancient history. However, Memorial Day is widely observed.
