Are they gonna redesign Google now every 2 month? I mean the new Google Bar looks ok, but the "old" black one is stylish too, so why just throw it out after such short period of time?
- yanw 15y agoAccording to this: http://vimeo.com/29965463 http://vimeo.com/29965463 it's just an iteration on the new design.
- snprbob86 15y agoI don't think this is a new redesign every two months... this incremental iteration at work. They wanted the launch the new design, but the existing bar was probably deeply intertwined with all of the existing sites. It takes a while to get all the teams on the same page.
- marssaxman 15y agoI'm surprised the existing bar got itself intertwined with existing sites - didn't they just launch it a few months ago? I don't understand why they need to change it so soon.
- notatoad 15y agothe bar has been around for a long time. it being black is a fairly new thing.
- polshaw 15y agoChanging it to a much more prominent black doesn't fit with the idea that they were planning to ditch it at that time, to me.

- toyg 15y agoToo easy to dismiss and ignore -- after all, it's just a glorified list of links, on a dark background that feels more like something belonging to the browser bar rather than to the actual website. With the new design, the bar will take over the search feature, which is something you use every day, the single feature every google website shares, so you won't be able to ignore that the bar exists, and with the bar, your G+ profile, which is the real target... I'm not convinced that hiding the links is entirely a good idea though.
- gojomo 15y agoMaybe they'll alternate dark/light every time they want to draw attention to a new change in the bar.
- gujk 15y agoWhen they want to draw attention to something, they just open a giant popular div. I don't know whether Google or Facebook started it, but now I have to wade through a thicket of popups whenever I return to a product after a few weeks away.
