Zoeken.nl creates 'special days' logos ala Google

Dutch Cowboys tell us that Zoeken.nl has followed Google's lead in changing their logos to suit special days. Google changes its logo to reflect national days - but this means that their logo changes throughout the world. Danny Sullivan of SearchEngineWatch, has suggested that Google should create local identities for nationally important days. Zoeken.nl has spotted an opportunity to respect its own national presence in the Netherlands by doing just that.

The Dutch celebrate their liberation at the end of the second world war with two national days the 4th and 5th of May. The first of these of day of solemn commemoration, the latter a day of joy and celebration.
