Google and Darwin's Finches: Where's the .com logo?

200 years ago today Charles Darwin was born, one of the most influential figures in science. However, despite being a revolutionary global figure Google gives him a rather weak chocolate-box-painting of a logo:

Even worse, at the time of writing, there is nothing for Darwin at Google.com! Whilst I thought it might be due to the time difference, both Google Mexico and Google Canada have the same logo as the UK. Is Google.com waiting for the 200th anniversary of Charles Thaxton's birth instead?

I wonder if Darwin and evolution is a too flammable topic in the USofA?

From what I hear, it may have appeared, just not when seen from outside the US...nonetheless it is a pretty rubbish logo.
