That does seem odd, especially since Easter is my favorite candy holiday, far better than Halloween! Hehheh. I would be curious about their reasons, but I'm not ready to jump on the "they're anti-religion" bandwagon. Too many cries of wolf on that.

Erik

By the way Tom...I just found this on Google. http://www.google.com/Easter/feature_easter.html Looks like Easter to me!

Tom McMahon

Thanks, Erik. I'm still puzzled why Google is doing this.

Erik Grow

I'm puzzled too, but they certainly have always changed the logo for Christmas, so I kind of doubt that it's strictly a religion thing. Very hard to say.

Tom McMahon

Exactly. The Easter Egg theme is inoffensive for the vast, vast, vast majority, and is the kind of unexpected fun these logos provide. Betcha they'll have something next year, though.

I recall that they didn’t have a Christmas day logo. It was the Australian boxing logo. I believe their staying away from religious related logos, and I say good for them. Religion is a leach on society.

Dan O

Co-Founder & President of Products of Google, Larry Page is a Jewish American, and as we all know, followers of Judaism don't celebrate the resurrection of the lord and savior Jesus Christ. Just theorizing, I'd say he has something to do with the missing Easter bunny.

Andrea Harris

Jews don't celebrate All Hallow's Eve (Halloween) or St. Patrick's Day either, but they had logos for them in 2006.

Ben: religion isn't the only thing "leeching" off society; plenty of so-called "better" secular movements have been a lot worse in their effect on society in a much shorter time frame (see: Communism) than any religion.

would that make google the anti-Christ?

I wondered enough to submit a story to Digg a few hours ago; see http://digg.com/arts_culture/No_Easter_Google_Logo for the commentary.

Oddly enough, Yahoo Calendars ignores the holiday as well. But for the rest of March, it had Daylight Savings Time and Saint Patrick's Day prominently featured. At quick glance, there's a bold reminder for April Fool's Day as well. But nada for Easter.

I personally believe it's a blatant religious bias against marshmallow peeps.

ben

BUT they do have a logo for Charles Darwin...seems like a direct correlation/contradiction

rgt

What kind of easter logo is that??? It is suppose to be more artistic.

OMG

Sooo rude not toooo! =( i was predicting like eggs in o's and bunny face in like e's or SOMETHING at least!!!!!

No Easter logo? No Christmas logo? I'm going to BING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kay

Badda-'Bing', here, too!

GEEEEEZ! Very disappointed! I always look forward to the create side of GOOGLE! This is, at the least, quite a disappointment! (Could have at least used 'spring pale colors for the logo'!)

Easter Bunny

Pretty sad when you have to GOOGLE why GOOGLE has no Easter logo today!

spliz

hey where are all the great egg head Christians, come on Christians, start up your computer companies and beat these jewish or atheist run servers! I'm getting sick of it, all these pseudo intellectual atheists. give me a break! oh and by the way, Happy Easter, ha ha

Google posted 5 christmas logos this year, so I don`t think they`re anti-religion. But this still puzzles me.

Ronni

I also had to google "why no Easter google logo" (maybe I should've "bing'd" it! :) ) - it seems so strange to me. Ok, so if the founders of Google are Jewish, why don't they have something Passover-related up then? I'd even be ok with that. But just totally ignoring the holiday? It actually seems more offensive pretending that today is not a significant holiday for millions of people...than to put up something very non-religion related, like a Easter bunny.


I think it's weird.

Teri

I am happy to find I am not the only one wondering where the Google Easter Logo is. I am extremely happy that Google has finally stood up to China and stopped the censored Google there. But I am disappointed that Easter isn't recognized -- as it is the highest Christian holiday. As a Christian, I'm not offended to see the logos of other religions displayed. I

Don Albertson

I looked today, and noticed the same.

The answer, I'll guess: Google Culture belongs to the religion of the liberal-left. They worship environmentalism, feminist extremism, and the like, but are wickedly hostile to anything Christian, even as Judeo-Christian culture is what built America, and even as America has been in a state of decline ever since The Enlightened Ones (aka, hippies, aka Baby Boomers) came of age.

Cat

I think that the Christmas logo had pictures of people celebrating "the holidays" in different ways and had no Christian sign of Christmas up. Yes, i do think the total avoidance of Easter, the holiday that reminds us that we can be saved, the one that reminds us that God died and rose for us, is a slam on religion. How can you refuse such pure, beautiful, perfect, and SAVING love. Jesus reminds us of how much love he has for us and that if we deny Him in front of others, He will deny us in front of His Father. Have a heart and stand up for the one who saved you!

Ivan

Well I'm guessing because it's politically incorrect but after all look who owns the media.

Google has a Christmas theme every year. As well as Hanukkah. So it really freaks me out about Easter. Im not expecting 3 crosses or a tomb with a large stone rolled away. But come on, Not even an egg or a rabbit. Many of the previous posts made the point about them having themes for "world water day","Halloween" and the birthdays of people I've never heard of. So its actually shocking to me to completely ignore this holiday.
