Google's new favicon: Yipee I'm here

Monday, June 2, 2008 |

Google has got a new face on the Web. A smaller one, just 16x16 pixels.The internet mammoth updated its favicon, the small logo that appears in URL location bar, tabs bookmarks and a few other places. The older icon, an uppercase multicolored G has been supplanted by blue colored lower case g. It's just a minor change, but coming from a company which gives detail to its design, I could not help, but draw my (and yours) attention to it. Given the fact that icon is beaming across our browsers like a bulb in a room, this aspect of their branding deserves some attention.But do note that this new icon doesn't appear on all Google sites.

It hasn't changed in the search engine part of Firefox 3 either. (to the right of the address bar)
