    The previous favicon is way better than the current one. What is Google thinking.

    Rotate a bit, infinity (∞), represents their "Goooooogle" thing.

    Like somebody said before, I'm really surprised people care about it, a favicon change won't make a difference.

    The new favicon is soooo ugly and I can't imagine I was using Google when I looked at that favicon.

    Haha.

    It doesn't bother me, but...

    I'm a little surprised that anyone would be surprised that people are so picky :)

    It looks good for me, actually it doesn't even bother me also. What important is google must place my site and blogs in first position in all my keywords.

    lol!

    Are you guys really getting your panties in a bunch over a lower case g vs. a capital G? geez. No one made this much fuss when AT&T changed to at&t from old school to the NEW at&t.

    But Google is the second most popular website on the internet, AT&T isn't.

    I have to look at Google's favicon hundreds of times a day, and the new favicon is ugly. I have to look at the ugly favicon hundreds of times a day!!!

    I like the new one. It was indeed a time for a change. I think it would be better if it was blue rather than purple IMO. It has more of a Web 2.0 feel to it.
