  I did noticed it. I feel that it lacks something. Its background needs some work to be done with it.

    It’s not even blue like the small “g” in Google, is it all colors in google mixed together to give this color? hmm. It lacks everything imo, I still vote “does not match”

  Bad Google…

  I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought back the old one once they see the feedback…

    They are probably trying to change some rules, like not sticking with the same thing for years who knows. But still that new favicon doesn’t stand out, I wonder what google is trying to do

  Yes it’s indeed i saw the change on webmaster tools and analytics…

  Thought they didn’t mention it anywhere, i may think it looks a bit weird because, this logo is not visible anywhere on google websites. Thus this odd feeling against the logo… imagine it to be seem everywhere on google site, then it wouldn’t look the same, i may thinks…

  Even i agree with most of you dat this new favicon lacks something…
  and as ravianz said.. the big G was more of an eye candy than this one!!
