If Google TRULY supported FIRST...

[Nuttyman54]

I suggested it to them last year, but nothing ever happened with it. I don't think logo standards would be an issue (FIRST would probably be more than willing to work something out for that kind of exposure). Regional logos are probably out of the question (how do we determine which regionals get displayed), but the Championships would be feasible by my estimations. For all we know, they may be working on it currently.

stop ranting please
i think it is a great idea and if they did it it would be very good publicity for first. but we have to get it started first.

everyone who wants it to happen you should contact first or google and tell them.

and someone find out if there is anything happening that is already on the google homepage during the championship.

p.s. i found the google logo person, his name is dennis hwang. email him with your suggestion at doodle@google.com.

everyone that reads this post should email this address because if they get so many of them they might consider doing it.

pps i agree that you sound like you are angry at google. they do not owe us anything. they help because they want to.
if you ask nicely they might say yes.

Google supports FIRST. Please don't act as if you (and by extension, FIRST) are somehow entitled to get a certain amount of support from Google. Google is giving its support because it wants too; it isn't obligated to give any support. I am glad for the support we get from Google and other companies.

Sorry if you this was not your intention, but the post sounded a bit childish/spoiled to me.

Okay a couple of clarifications.

1- I wasn't suggesting that there be logos for all the regionals, just nationals which is only 3 days.

2- In terms of the logo I think that if Google went to FIRST and said "hey by the way we want to do this" I would HOPE that FIRST would see the enormous benefit to them and wouldn't squabble over use of the logo.

3- Sadly more people probably visit Google in a day than ever see a Shuttle Launch.

Everyone makes good points though I know it is a little pie in the sky and we are sadly probably to small for Google to care but still the founders have been to our competitions they know what's up.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming,

Justin

I think it's a small thing to ask and I can only assume that no one's thought of it before.

I suggested it to FIRST last spring, for kickoff. Didn't happen.

Great minds think alike.
