Google’s New Favicon
Well this is rather strange. It would seem that Google has switched from its usual blue ‘G’ favicon to a purple ‘g’ favicon. In truth, I can’t see why this change would have been made, considering how recognizable Google’s current logo is. Perhaps this foreshadows a complete redesign of their logo, but I find that unlikely. It will most likely be back to normal by tomorrow (and this post will look rather strange). I’m most interested in seeing how many blog posts this will generate. Amazing how noticeable a slight change to a well-known site like Google can be.
It’s still the. I noticed that too. Odd. I doubt that a redesign is on the way. The original logo was designed for simplicity and the ability to be recognized.
