Does the Google homepage ever show special notices or promotions?
Aside from special logos, the Google homepage sometimes promotes Google products below the search box. Usually, these links appear only for a brief time, and sometimes only in a certain country. Google also sometimes promotes causes outside their own product spectrum. During the World Aids Day, they even displayed a graphic on the homepage, which (outside the logo and smaller icons) very rarely happens. The Google homepage also dressed up in black once to promote a “Lights Out” campaign for energy conservation. Sometimes, the homepage also includes special notes, like after natural or human-made disasters. After the London bombings, the Google UK homepage included a black ribbon and text next to it listing a hotline number. The black ribbon graphic, a symbol of grief (and sometimes awareness or protest) was linked to Google News. A black ribbon was also included on Google Spain in March 2004 after the Madrid bombings. Also, on September 11, 2001, Google displayed a special notice readi
