So when I visited Google.com, I saw Big Bird's legs. It is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street and Google made a Doodle for it. But then I noticed other Google properties not only sporting Sesame Street but also Doodles for other learning programs that are popular in those regions. We have Google logos for the 20th birthday of Wallace & Gromit, and these other regional characters: Abigal, Boombah Chamki, Ieniemienie, Abelardo Montoya and Kami.
Here are the logos:

Wow, great list, and fun to see. Thanks! (I wouldn't have known myself, in Canada, but I'd seen a tweet earlier about Wallace & Gromit from the UK, so it was fun to lookup other countries' logos. Intriguing country choices and colours, though they mostly seem taken from the characters themselves. I especially like the last logo, Google with chicken pox :p
