I'm not talking about a bout a billion dollar donation (though we wouldn't turn that down) I'm talking about something very, very simple but with the potential for HUGE impact. What? Two words Google Homepage. As we all probably know Google frequently uses the logo on their main page to highlight special events, holidays, etc. that are occurring on a given day. In my opinion if Google were truly seriously about FIRST the FIRST logo would be integrated into the Google Logo (which would be pretty easy to do, just use the logo and add a tail to the diamond for the g) during the days of the championship in Atlanta. Think about it how many billions of eyes would see that in a given day and more often than not if people don't know what the logo means they click to see and suddenly HUGE publicity for FIRST across many countries. I can't think of a single reason why this can't happen. There is also precedent for this type of thing because the Olympics had a different logo each day of the 2 week long event all we are asking for is 3 days. If anyone can think of a reason this can't/shouldn't happen post below I'd like to hear it.
Thoughts?

And if NASA
TRULY supported FIRST they would put a triangle/circle/square on the side of the space shuttle. It would be pretty easy to do, they already paint stuff on there, whats some more ink gonna hurt? Think about how many billions of eyes would see that in one launch and more often than not if people don't know what the logo means they can look just write a URL too.
