Google appear to have a number of Winter Olympic themed Google logos for their search page. They did have one featuring the luge but following the tragic death of a competitor in practice the luge logo has been pulled and replaced with a snowboarding one.
Chances are Google have prepared a different logo for each day of the games; each logo features a different event. On luge day they had a luge and unfortunately it went live shortly after a luge competitor died.
Me? I would have kept the logo but put a black border around it.
Having seen video of the accident I was immediatly struck by the parallels with the Death of Princess Diana. No, it's not conspiracy time. It's cock-up time. Nodar Kumaritashvili was killed when he hit a support pillar in a tunnel. Princess Diana's car hit a support pillar in a tunnel. On the luge track boarding has now been erected in front of the support pillars so now any crash should result in sliders sliding along the boards and not stopping suddenly.
