I stumbled on this petition when surfing the net. Some LotR fans want Google to show a Tolkien-related logo on his birthday on January 3rd. Some of their ideas for Google logos are actually pretty cool!

EDIT: Owh, the thread got announcement stickied...!
Well, perhaps some of the talented graphics makers here would like to play with a Tolkien logo :P

Wow, I hope enough people will sign the petition for the logo. If they did it, it would so cool...

Wait they didn't do it? Bummer. :disgust:

oh wow, those are really cool. too bad they didn't do it, that kinda sucked. Tolkien's birthday is so easy for me to remember cause it's on the same day as my mom's birthday XD cool huh? it would've been much cooler if she were a fan of him
