Google Gets a New Favicon and Everyone Notices

Published by on Jan 12th, 2009, No Comments

One assumes that it is news when Google does something and it goes unnoticed, so when they did change a very visible aspect of their appearance and that does get noticed, we are not really shocked.

Google have decided that the cool-blue G that they picked as their favicon just last June needs a revamp and they have gone forward by taking a cue from their past- the company’s classic yellow/blue/green/red color scheme.

Though that seems like falling back rather than moving forward, one must admit that the recent sudden surprise was indeed a pleasure when it comes to visual experience. The new G clad in the four bright colors obviously is Google’s attempt to develop a set of icons that would scale better to some new platforms like the iPhone and other mobile devices.

This ensures that the more vibrant G is much more likely to stay around longer than the old blue one. But by their admission, this is by no means the last time you will wake up to a change in your Google apps and browser. This is still a long way away from being the favicon final for Google.

Men at Google are obviously working overtime on this. Right? [via TechCrunch]
