Google’s New Favicon

General 2 Comments

Google FaviconI’m not sure about you but I am really not getting used to seeing Google’s new favicon. It’s definetely harder to find when you have multiple tabs open. And yeah…

According to Google:

“We recognized there was a need for a Google icon that would better work across multiple applications including web, mobile and client applications. We felt the small ‘g’ had many of the characteristics that best represent our brand: it’s simple, playful, and unique. We will be looking to improve and enhance this icon as we move forward.”

Simple, playful and unique? That’s not the impression I have of Google at all. Am I missing something?

What do you think? Big G or little g? Google Favicon

Here are some iterations of the Google Favicon:

    Personally I like the first one in the box.
    I know it isn’t clear but google is google.
    Moreover I don’t understand Picasa icon for pictures, but now I can recognize it.

    So definitely Google has power.
