Where on earth does Google find these designers? Dear lord, go and steal some of Yahoo's design talent for god's sake!
Google can use what they want as favicon, but this one is the ugliest what I ever seen. Google has to hire some designers.
Why on earth would the change in favicon mean a change in logo? The new one still matches with the logo, it's just the second g in Google now....
Both are good. When I first saw the icon today, I actually got quite confused as to what website I had tabs open to. Also, I don't think Google is changing it's logo, just changing some minor.
It doesn't matter to me what the favicon looks like. As long as the search results are good, it doesn't bother me. They could use Yahoo's favicon for all I care.
the old one was alot more original this looks like some tribal art. its only a matter of time before they change they logo
