Meh, I don't like it. I liked the old one better.
it's normal for me?
It's new so its obviously not normal for you.
I got it around 4 days ago and was like O_o oo thats sexeh.
But no, they won't be making a new logo, everyone knows their current one etc...
I don't like it... everytime I look in my history I glance over it as i don't recognise it as google..
yeah, it is.Quote:

This could be something new!
I noticed this a while ago but didn't feel the need to post a thread on it!
I also noticed it awhile ago, but it's really not thread worthy ;). Though, it is rather ugly.
I dont like it :(
oh it's changed now
I preferred the capital G :( small caps g just looks inferior.
lol u just noticed :O
tbh old 1 was better
If your not a fan of it and it bugs you that much just use the UK Google :P
I do use the UK Google, it has the same icon for me.

Its global now... It's on all Googles...
Yeah i noticed it earlier, i just assumed my favicons have buggered up, they do that for me from time to time :P looks interesting, I've always thought the old one looked a bit strange
I like it better.
The lowercase G just doesn't suite the actual logo and doesn't fit in with the colour theme they've always had :(.
Yh realised it yesterday, it might be a the "g" of a new more innovative logo :P
I love it o_o
The lower "g" is already part of their logo if you haven't realised. It's the second G in their name. Also it's been changed to this as the lower case G represents the symbol which indentifies googol which Google is named after.
I think that's what it's all about.
There's actually a reason why it's now a lowercase 'G'.
'g' represents 10 to the power of 100 (googol), that's approximately the number of pages Google has to index. There's a little bit of maths and Greek behind the new logo :P
Uh..this is a theory too but it's incorrect according to Google.
I don't think this is correct, not according to what I've found below.

"We recognized there was a need for a Google icon that would better work across multiple applications including web, mobile and client applications. We felt the small 'g' had many of the characteristics that best represent our brand: it's simple, playful, and unique. We will be looking to improve and enhance this icon as we move forward."
