Google's new website?

Has anyone noticed this yet? I hope this cut and paste works because I'm a bit concerned my computer was just hijacked.

This is my home page on IE: http://www.google.com/

You mean the change of the banner? According to the Google itself they are just celebrating the birthday of Edvard Munch who was born on this day in 1863.

I recongize the painting but up until today I didn't know it was Edvard Munch who painted it.

You mean the Edvard Munch "The Scream" logo? I love it.

Google puts up all kinds of special logos for certain occasions. Most major holidays, but a lot of obscure historical dates as well. There was an interview with the artist a few months ago.

Some are really cute, and many aren't archived on that "holiday logos" page. I wonder if there's another archive somewhere of the more obscure ones.

You mean the artsy picture for Google? It's Edvard Munch's birthday.

a Google search will reveal that lots of people have been collecting them and display them on their own journals or web pages. They're very cool; today's is especially so.
