Not sure whether you have noticed the change in the Google Fav Icon, a small icon which comes in your address bar and in the bookmark list. It is used to reflect the identity of site/ company. Its a 16×16 pixel .ico file uploaded to the root of the site which will be read by the browser.
Google fav icon was one with upper case ‘G’ in blue color, green and red border color. Even though it matched with their entire branding, I always feel it belongs to the 70’s. There was no evaluation for 8.5 years in that area. The new fav icon is a lower case ‘g’ in purple color with a shadow. More over they have come out with icon sets which can be scaled to new platforms like the iPhone and other mobile devices.
In their official blog spot they have mentioned that the current one is not the final one. So till June 20th you can submit your ideas to them. Click here to submit your ideas to Google.
