Doodle: Queen’s Day
Doodle May 3rd, 2008 - By Haochi
On April 30th, Google Netherlands celebrated Queen’s Day with the above logo.
Queen’s Day is a national holiday in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba on 30 April. Queen’s Day celebrates the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands and is supposed to be a day of national unity and “togetherness”. [...] During the celebrations as reference to the colours of the House of Orange-Nassau, people dress in the colour orange, which is sometimes called “orange craze”. [Wikipedia]
Google had celebrated the holiday previously, in 2003 and 2005 (the logos look pretty much the same though).

Where’s the Cinco De Mayo Doodle today? All they need is a donkey, a sombrero (hope I spelled that right), & a couple of Coronas.

It’s the biggest one they got, comparable to the 4th of July in the USA :-)
