Today on most Google properties you will see a special logo, video logo, for Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday. Freddie Mercury is most well known as the lead vocalist for the popular band, Queen. He was born today in 1946 and died from bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS on November 24, 1991.
The logo is seen on most Google properties but not on Google.com, because today in the United States is Labor Day. Instead, as Google said, this logo will be available on Google.com tomorrow, in respect for Labor Day. On Google.com today is a small American Flag.
