First day of autumn 2008

by Patrick Altoft on September 22, 2008

Today is the first day of Autumn 2008 and Google has changed its logo to celebrate.

First day of Autumn 2008

Google also did this for the first day of Summer which didn’t go down too well because the UK missed out on Summer this year.

Happy first day of Autumn 2008!

Happy first day of Autumn 2008!
selina howells 22 Sep 2008 at 11:37 am: ‘its’ logo (it is a company singular! petty I know)
Axe man 22 Sep 2008 at 12:21 pm: There is only one Goolge – so it is singular
selina howells 22 Sep 2008 at 2:19 pm: Well done, you corrected yourself, now decide if autumn needs a capital letter because you are undecided above.

Thatblokesanutter 22 Sep 2008 at 5:28 pm: ‘Its logo’ is perfectly correct. Tiny little thing like an apostrophe and it always gets butchered! You only put an apostrophe in the word ‘it’ to show you have shortened something like ‘it is’ or ‘it has’ etcetera.
Eimear Smyth 22 Sep 2008 at 5:32 pm: Yay i love autum becuase i do.!

N 22 Sep 2008 at 6:54 pm: Today the autumn equinox is officially the middle of Autumn, autumn is the 3 months surrounding this equinox, so Autumn officially started around August 6th or 7th and will end on around November 6th or 7th. If there were only 2 seasons, summer and winter, we would now be in winter. I like long clear nights but I don’t like the cold so I think winter is ok.
selina howells 22 Sep 2008 at 6:55 pm: Thatblokesanutter, it read ‘Google has changed their logo’

Shannon Swenson, Interactive Producer 24 Sep 2008 at 9:17 am: Hi Patrick, Nice Post. I blogged about your SEO accomplishment and attached a larger SEM strategy around funny, odd & quirky holidays and events. I list a few ideas where brands could apply Quirky Holiday SEM and leverage cheap inventory, low competitive rates and temporary traffic spikes for brand awareness. I welcome feedback and ideas…What do you think? Thanks!
Xavièr 27 Sep 2008 at 12:54 am: Google is amazing.
