Google Gets a New Favicon

Did you notice? I’ve just seen that Google has a new favicon. I couldn’t find any new thing across all other services, though (Gmail and stuff). Is this a first step in some bigger redesign process? No more green-blue-red-yellow logo on the search page?

    hmmm… No didn’t notice - I had to point my Firefox to google.com/favicon.ico and ctrl-f5 it to get it to refresh the favicon…

    But now I see it - quite the different look!

    The gradient on the background is hideous. They should make the background transparent.

    Yeah, I noticed it yesterday and Twittered it. (Personally, I think the old icon was better.) I wonder why they changed it. Is a redesign underway, or was someone at Google bored?

    Yeah, I don’t like it neither :) The old school logo was cooler

    Yeah - I wonder if it is part of a MUCH BIGGER CHANGE?
