Comments
I have written a few articles about Twitter users and others using social media to help the people of Iran. I have received many comments about the articles. Some of the comments are heartwarming. Others help us realize what Iranians are going through. Here are some of the comments.
I don't know where these comments originated, but some of these people are much closer to the situation. Some may be experiencing it firsthand.
Mehran - This logo is cute, but it doesn't explain enough the pain we're all in. I think the blood should be somehow related to a dead bird. That's how our friends are being killed.
Joanna Pena-Bickley - I think most of the major media outlets failed on the #IranElections I have found the best coverage using social media. Google - ON: Social Coverage of Iranian Elections.
Mehran - Thank you We won't forget your kindness :)
HEDI - THANK YOU HAROLD, BUT I AM NOT SURPRISE THAT CNN FAILED IN IRAN'S ELECTION NEWS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME CNN SAID SOMETHING TRUE OR GOOD ABOUT IRAN OR MIDDLE EAST.
Homeira - This is selection not election.
Amir - Great idea.
From Iran - It's very comforting to know that there are people out there who care about what's been going on in Iran and what's being done unto my people. Thank you world.
maryam - its going to show all people that we need them to care.
Ehsan Irani - I love the idea and going to share it with all my friends! Thank you Google!
Najmeh Akhavan - Google Go Green for Iran!
arash - yes.
Nazanin! - Go Go Google!!!! Thank you! thank you!!! Thank you!!!! You Rock!!!
majid - very good idea &thanks a lot viva gooooooooogle.
I hope these comments have touched you as they have touched me. I hope they help us understand -- even a little -- what the people are experiencing. I wish them success as they strive for more freedom.

Hi and thanks.
A green special permanent google logo for Iran will be fantastic and can help all very much to pay attention to our people .
We go to reach a big Green V Morteza(Alkibados)
VERY SOFT AND CUTE LOGO CONGRATULATE TO GOOGLE FOR SUCH A NICE IDEA
THIS IS NOT DESIGNED BY GOOGLE, the idea and design is mine, I have lots of bandwidth problem, IF YOU CAN FORWARD IT TO GOOGLE INDIVIDUALS PLEASE DO THAT. SOS GOOGLE :)
DEAR Mehran:
Logo is not design professionally, anyway it stands for:
1- Blood drop: appreciation to the recent martyrs.
2- Dove: Freedom. It is in mirror of the blood drop, meaning that their blood will give
us the freedom.
3- Iran's flag.
4- Green color of the fonts: the new green wave in Iran willing democracy and peace.
Google pls support Iranian people who are seeking peace & freedom.we need worlld support all of us inside Iran . Down with the Dictator

Thanks for this article but unfortuantely the web site has been defaced and can't vote for this. i hope Google may run this scheme for at least a month not a day.
