It was a major failure to redo the icon. Change all the other property's icon, but leave the standard search engine icon alone.
To me, it smells like someone trying to keep their job. My brain instantly recognizes that icon. I skip back-and-forth to that icon hundreds of times a day. Now I'm left fumbling and angry at Google. Sure, I'll survive, but it'll be there at the edge of my brain for a while.
It's always the small things. We need a Steve Jobs like character at Google that gets how important design is. And that means not changing it for change's sake.
