Google: Artist's family asks Google to take down today's 'painted' logo

Really, is it that bad that Google honors the artist work by creating a Google logo by using elements of his work? I'd be glad that Google would use my artwork to make their logo. My god it's free exposure. When the logo was out yesterday, I was impressed, not having seen his work before and not knowing who he was, I was introduced to his artwork by Google. They even had a search of the artist work and name on google when you would click on the Google logo. It's not like they were trying to steal his style, they were given him credit as best as Google could; front page exposure and permanent search link of him.

People complain too much sometimes. Google I endorse what you have done and if you want to use my stick figure style drawing for your logo, I would be honored.
