Google Changes Favicon

Posted by Ahmad
Google.com's Logo

The web giant Google changed its Favicon two or three days ago, first I noticed it amongst their image search result pages, apparently retrieving results from upgraded servers, but today, and since I have Google.com as my homepage, I noticed the favicon (now a lowercase - blue - serif typeface) giving it a softer impression. 

Old Google.com Favicon:Old Google Favicon

New Google.com Favicon:New Google Favicon 

I personally think its lame, I liked the old one, had more character, and a box, this one only has a gradient. We'll read about the reasons why, but for now, just look away. 

Whats next for Google? sorry, couldn't come up with anything smart for that, I mean common, they only changed the favicon people.

Salam

I absolutely agree, if google is thinking about changes, I hope they are not as bad as this.

@Abdullah: Actually its run on blogengine.net using a theme adapted for it from wordpress.
