pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Googles New Favicon (1st Jun 08 at 10:35am UTC) | | So ther day, google released their new favicon, a small letter g. I thought I'd give it a couple of days to get used to it but have come the conclusion that I don't like. I definately preferred the old one because of its simplicity. So which icon do you prefer?

pmvForum | | Re: Googles New Favicon (1st Jun 08 at 10:43am UTC) | | The old one ... it's so more representive of what google is about -> Simplicity and also, the colours of the words around the favicon.
Honestly, I hate the current one!  | |

I'm worried that they'll change the logo next | |

pmwww | | Re: Googles New Favicon (2nd Jun 08 at 12:10am UTC) | | I would like the new favicon if the logo was the same. It keeps the simplicity by simply being a G, but also shows a deeper level of complexity behind it all by being the hard-to-write G. On top of that, the purple is a calm colour, and in my eyes more simple than 4 or 5 colours. As a final note, it also shows that Google is an expanding company, making changes for the future, not always staying the same.
My analysis of that is probably much deeper than what Google was aiming for; they were probably just bored of the old one. But whatever, I still like my theory.  | |

pmwww | | Re: Googles New Favicon (2nd Jun 08 at 1:16pm UTC) | | | Personally, if it ain't broke it doesn't need to be fixed. I'm not a massive fan of the new one...though i'll fully reserve judgement if they change the logo and i'll see what they do to that. | |

pmwww | | Re: Googles New Favicon (7th Jun 08 at 2:57pm UTC) | | Well, seems it's going to be a full-scale change. Reading BBC News for a different topic, I found this:
Quote: Here around a half a dozen engineers are huddled into a cramped office to work on top secret projects. Everyone there was tight lipped about what the next big thing coming out of the room would be but helpfully quipped that it was a new colour. | |
