Google Israel, in keeping with the company’s policy of changing its logo for festivals and special occasions, went all lovey-dovey for Tu B’Av, the 15th of Av, which marks the minor Jewish holiday of love and this year falls Thursday-Friday, August 2-3.

The modified logo — or “doodle” — is a fairly demure affair — entwined “o”s, with a little heart flying above them.

The Tu B’Av doodle extends Google’s tradition of Valentine’s Day doodles, which have featured similar heart designs, as well as Cupids and teddy bears, roses and even a dancing elderly couple.

In May, Google donned blue and white worldwide for Israel’s 64th birthday.
