New Google Favicon : Big G turns to Little G

Posted By Mr.Gadget  Published in Internet

New Google Favicon Image LinkIt may be a small change, but for people who spend a lot of time on Google’s websites it’s hard NOT to notice – Google has changed its favicon! Apparently the new lower case “g” stands for infinity and represents the numeric value of google better…

The favicon is a little image (160×160) that appears to the left of the website’s URL address that appears in your browser. In the newer browsers that have “tab” functionality such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox, you’ll also see favicons distinguishing different tabs.

See what I mean below:

Search Engine Land has an official position from Google:
“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.“
