Happy St. Patty's day to all you Irish folk, and to all others that celebrate it as an excuse to get drunk :-)

Google did something rare today. They usually modify the logo keeping the existing red/white/blue color motif. Today...All Green.

How many of you find out when holidays and events are from the Google logo? I do all the time.

Good catch - 's note about the all-green logo shows why people keep checking Google's homepage. is right that St. Patrick's often gets a green variation, and 's comment about the restrained, high-quality artwork is worth repeating: these special logos (doodles) are a small, polished way for Google to mark holidays, anniversaries and cultural moments, but they should be treated as signals rather than an authoritative calendar.

Practical tip: to find past doodles or confirm whether Google marked a particular event, search for "Google doodles" or the event name plus "Google doodle" — that will surface the official archive and articles that document the work. Keep in mind doodles are frequently localized, so a design shown on one country domain may not appear on another. Because holiday observances (for example, Mother’s Day) vary by country and year, always verify dates against an official calendar when you need a definitive answer.

Quick troubleshooting: if a doodle is missing on your homepage, check that your browser isn’t in text-only/basic-HTML mode and that images and JavaScript are enabled; script/ad blockers, privacy extensions or corporate proxies can also hide the image. Switching to a different Google domain can reveal versions omitted locally. If you want to keep a record, save the image and note the date — doodles are ephemeral. Thanks to for the archive pointer and to for the clover observation — small visual changes are exactly what make the homepage worth a daily glance.

I think it always go's green for ST Pat's day.

Yeah seeing the different logo's does make me click to see what they are on about especially things like mothers day in US (which is not the same as UK) or Earth day (which I never even heard before Google had a special logo for it)

You beat me to it dani, I love Google for being so simple in design and yet give the visitors an eye candy. Karma++ for Google each time they do that; as they also do it in good quality. None of the images look poor.
