Did Google Just Get a New Favicon?

Not much of a news story, but I just noticed a different favicon for Google in my browser. Is this new?

I just noticed the same thing. IDK if I like it or not. At least it's better then that plain lower-case “g” that was supposed to represent infinity. They changed that one back in May of last year.

It's new favicon.


[...] Reports are lighting up the web that Google has a new favicon. I just reloaded my iGoogle homepage, and sure enough, there it is. Gone is the boring silver and blue “g,” now we get a more colorful “g.” [...]

And it looks disgusting, an incomprehensible blob. There should be a way to block that damn thing.

Frankly I hate it. The old one was so much better. Now it looks like every other favicon in my bookmarks – a lot of colors, not much of content (if you can talk about content in context of favicon).
