Google’s New Doodle Celebrates Pakistan’s 65th Independence Day

By Azeem Ullah Hassan | 14, Aug 2012 | 28 Comments

Just like last year, Google has again displayed today a brilliant independence day doodle at its Google Pakistan page.

Unlike last year’s doodle where a crescent and a star was displayed above the second ‘g’ and a Minar-e-Pakistan was placed in place of ‘l’ (and the color changed to green, of course) this years doodle has got a complete make over and instead features a traditional design and artwork (similar to the artworks you see on lorries everyday!).

This is a remarkable way to celebrate the 65th independence anniversary of our motherland and something that we people deserve as Google Pakistan is among Pakistan’s most-visited websites. So to all the Pakistanis living both in abroad and in Pakistan, a very happy 65th independence day to you.

  It’s appearing for those only how are visiting Google.com from Pakistan. I’ve tested it on an anonymous site, and it displayed Google’s own logo.

  It is not, you can confirm it using a vpn or a proxy site here you go: http://anonplusproxy.appspot.com/google.com

  No, google.com here in switzerland and France is not displaying it. I guess it is just limited to google.com.pk plus google.com if you access it from Pakistan.

Dear non techy people, its not global. Google is displaying that doodle through the originating ip. If you are accessing the internet from inside Pakistan then the content that is displayed on google.com or google.com.pk is always gonna be Pakistan related. In short, people of other countries are not gonna see it.
