i was wondering about the change, too, but i didn't find this article interesting. in fact, talking about the icon at all isn't interesting. i was just startled by the new favicon and it took me a few google pages (maps, gmail, search) to drive home that, yes, these funny tabs were for google and all of google. i don't like it, but by now i'm used to it. i'll probably forget these ever had another icon by the end of today.
- KWD 18y agoI bypassed most of the article, but as for the favicon, I think it's an improvement. The previous blue lower-case 'g' was just bad. This syncs with the colors of their logo, and is distinctive.
- parenthesis 18y agoThe interesting bit in the article is this: "The new favicon is based on a design sent in by André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil."
- diN0bot 18y agothat's interesting because at first i kept thinking i'd opened tabs to some geographic region and that was their flag.
