Google Asked To Take Down "Painted" Logo


"...the family of Joan Miro was upset to discover elements of several works by the Spanish surrealist incorporated into Google's logo. Google has since taken the logo off its site.

The Artists Rights Society, a group that represents the Miro family and more than 40,000 visual artists and their estates, had asked Google to remove the image early this morning.

``There are underlying copyrights to the works of Miro, and they are putting it up without having the rights,'' said Theodore Feder, president of Artists Rights Society."


Boy, what a crime it is for Google to recognize an artist on his birthday by mimicking one of the late artist's work. Not only that, if you clicked on the logo, it brought you relevant information regarding the artist and his work. >insert retard icon here<
