How can a logo of the fall of the Berlin Wall be sad? ;-)

It is not, but it is not a 'light hearted' logo either.

The "sad" logo is discussed in Germany, too. A better one would have been this alternative design.

Just to clarify, the Sesame Street Anniversary is on November 10 (tomorrow) so the last week of Sesame Street Logos have been more or less a countdown to tomorrow. Not that this changes the point of the article, but Google's decision to post Sesame Street logos makes more sense to me knowing when the anniversary is.

But Sesame Street is a product of our ever-controlling government, and Google loves to cozy up to governments to keep from getting sued like Microsoft.

One suspects that the Google Gurus believe nothing can be wrong with celebrating Sesame Street.

The Fall of the Wall is such an huge milestone for a lot of us over 40 though. But...Google is pursuing a younger demographic, they will probably stay focused there.

Maybe we can have Big Bird kicking the wall over?

I agree - enough of the Sesame Street. Remembrance day and the fall of the Berlin wall are much more important dates to commemorate. Google always seem to choose weird anniversaries nobody really cares about.

@No Name regardless of what demographic Google is targeting Rememberance Sunday is a day that should never be forgotten. Despite whether your patriotic or not to remember all those lives lost from all nationalities at the end of the first world war.

I think it ws incredibly lame not to feature the wall - it was a JOYOUS occasion of super historical importance. I believe they did it cuz they're money-buddies with China now and as the last major communist power in the world they probably aren't showing the celebrations of the fall of communism in Europe.

And also - the comment about "younger demographics" makes no sense: it is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street but the 20th of the fall of the wall. So unless you are currently 5 years old, in which case you don't care how long Sesame Street has been around, there's no way you don't know about the Berlin Wall. Besides, since when is pandering to ignorance a good thing. (Answer: when it's all about money honey.)

There is no reason why the Seasme Street Anniversary should even compare to Rememberance Day! That is a disgrace!! We all should be ashamed! What our Veterans Gave for us - is something that should be remembered more than once a year - there are so few left from the WWII ... what was Google thinking - I am guessing either they were not thinking at all!!
