    Jessie Du wins Doodle4Google. Google removes Aboriginal flag over copyright(sic) issues. People get pissed.

    The winning design to create a special Google logo for Australia Day used the yellow circle from the Aboriginal flag as the second O , which is still under copyright , so had to be removed .

    Australia Day Google doodle winning entry by a certain 11 year old. But Google deleted the Aboriginal flag from the image saying the flag is ‘copyright imagery’


  6. Poornima Says:

    Australia-themed version of the Google logo designed by student Jessie Du. One feature of her original design is absent – the Aboriginal flag.The editing of Jessie’s design was due to a copyright dispute.


  7. RahulN Says:

    Google had to remove the aboriginal flag from its homepage logo created for Australia day as the copyright owner denied them permission


  8. Dibyo Says:

    they removed the aboriginal flag for it being too costly to run

  9. shrik Says:

    The Google Doodle chosen for Australia Day this year ended up removing the black and red Aboriginal flag in its final version because of copyright issues.

    (And ‘happy republic day’ is not a thing!)

    Google doodle on Australia Day missing the aborigine flag.


  11. adiS Says:

    The top picture is the original google doodle designed by 11 year old Jessie Du. However the doodle finally shown on the google Australia’s homepaged did not have the aboriginal flag. Google has explained the omission on basis of some copyright issues.

  13. Kaushik Saha Says:

    Google’s Dennis Hwang picked Jessie Du from Rydalmere East Public School, Sydney NSW, as the winner for google doodle to commemorate Australia Day in 2010

    The winning design in a competition to create a special Google logo for Australia Day used the yellow circle from the Aboriginal flag as the second O:.

    And that’s where the problem started.

    The Aboriginal flag – recognised under Australian law as one of the flags of Australia – was first used in the early 1970s and so is still under copyright. Harold Thomas was recognised as the author of the flag in 1997. Thomas declined Google’s request for permission to use the flag without paying a royalty, and his position didn’t change when offered “a pittance”.

    Interestingly, no permission is required to fly the Aboriginal flag, which is manufactured under licence.

    Google erases Aboriginal flag from Australia Day doodle on homepage


  15. varuns88 Says:

    Australia Day doodle. The aboriginal flag missing from the original doodle because Google wouldnt pay royalty to the designer of the flag.

  16. sidsen Says:

    the australian aborigine flag apparently is copyright-ed property, and google couldn’t come to suitable terms upon negotiations with the copyright owner. hence removed.


  17. udupendra Says:

    The winning design in a competition to create a special Google logo for Australia Day used the Aboriginal Australian flag. But the Aboriginal flag is still under copyright. So, they modified it.

  21. mojojojo Says:

    australian day doodle. first pic has aborigine flag which was edited out by google because of copyright issues


  22. Raghuvansh Says:

    google.com.au had to have the Aboriginal flag removed from their prize-winning Australia day doodle entry because the Aboriginal elder with the copyright wouldn’t let them use it.


  23. Rogi Says:

    The 1/26/10 Google Doodle for Australia celebrating Australia Day.
    Upper version is the original winning entry and the lower is the one actually displayed due to the jerk who owns the copyright on the Aboriginal flag image.


  24. Rogi Says:

    Will the scoring for the 12/29-12/31 period be worked out? I only ask because I think I’m coming up on 100.
    It looks like there are 3 puzzles for the period (though 2 have 12/30 as a date and 1 of those has been scored.), but there are only 2 available slots to put them (869 and 870).


  25. Gurupad Says:

    Missing Aboriginal flag

  26. Rogi Says:

    Also… I don’t understand why 1/3/10 (Vrooom) is wrong.


  27. Inglourious Says:

    GOOGLE marks Australia Day with a schoolgirl’s design, but deletes the Aboriginal flag from her image because the copyright of the Aboriginal flag design belongs to Australian artist Harold Thomas.


  28. madhur Says:

    Australia-themed version of the Google logo with Australia’s native animals, such as the kangaroo, koala and emu with the Aboriginal flag designed by a 11 yr student Jessie Du.

    After version without the flag as the designer of the flag refused to give Google permission to reproduce the design on its website
