Default Google. Racist?

This is the logo that won the "doodle 4 google" competition:



Yet, when you visit www.google.com, this is the logo you see:



It's not until you click on the logo, that it takes you to a page with info about the competition, that you see the real logo.
Any thoughts on why Google have chosen to remove the Aboriginal flag from the logo that is seen? Are they intentionally down-playing/ignoring the part the Aboriginal people have played in making Australia what it is??

I'm not interested in hearing "beacause they've done fuck all for this country" etc... (we have plenty of other threads like that). More so interested in hearing peoples thoughts on why Google have done this.

Discuss.
