Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all, enjoy Thanksgiving Day (even if your country doesn’t) and eat lots of turkey with no regard for your health. Or tofurkey, or whatever floats your boat. Just have fun today.

I’m watching the parade on NBC with the wife, and I’m shocked at how much Al Roker keeps mispronouncing everything. He was talking with Christopher Meloni, and asked him about his show, Law and Order: SUV. Oy.

Anyway, here’s Google’s Thanksgiving logo for 2007:

I think it’s a lot more festive than last year’s:

Yahoo’s doing an animated Flash logo again:


If you don’t have Flash, they show this image version:

Yahoo’s logo is the same one they ran last year, as far as I can tell.

Ask.com’s doing a full page image again, showing off this giant tasty turkey:

Here’s the full size high resolution image Ask uses, if you want to download it:

Dogpile’s running this:

Search Engine Roundtable has this logo:

Plus, the Cre9asite Forums did this:

Even Gmail has a Thanksgiving logo:

For some reason, Microsoft’s Live Search still has not run a single holiday logo, ever. They should get with the program.

Anyway, enjoy your Tryptophan!

  1. As a longtime vegetarian, I enjoy the fact that you mention tofurkey and that the Google logo shows a turkey meal - that is, one about to be eaten BY turkeys.

    I also like the Flash-free Yahoo logo.

    Hm, I wonder if Google (and other tech companies, really) have a disproportionately high amount of vegetarians. I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Happy Thanksgiving, even if we don’t have it in the Netherlands. ;-)

  3. I think that should read “Here’s the full size high resolution image Ask uses, regardless of whether you want to download it.”

  4. Mike, you got something against a giant turkey image? Besides, I meant that if you want to save it to your computer, I’m providing there for you to click and save.

  5. Perhaps he’s got something against a high-res image?

    The file isn’t even THAT big, though…
