Google’s Festive Happy Holidays Logo For 2012

Holiday Series 2013 1 998005 Hp 1356355664

Google is featuring a Google logo, aka Doodle, for the holiday season this morning. The logo is incredibly happy and festive, with lots of colors and Christmas like characters and activities within the logo that makes up the letters in Google’s name.

The logo can be found worldwide today, December 24th, on Christmas Eve. But when I peek ahead at Google Australia, where it is already Christmas day, I currently do not see a special holiday logo for Christmas. Maybe Google will surprise us?

Like every year, there is some concern that Google doesn’t say “Merry Christmas” as opposed to “Happy Holidays” in the logo or the search result for clicking on the logo.

Postscript: Google posted a Google logo for Christmas day on Google Australia after it being absent for several hours:
