Google is rolling out new favicon

Many of us use Google as our favorite daily destination. Today if you notice, Google just changed again their favicon to add more colorful picture. In case you wonder. There is explanation from Marissa Mayer, VP Search Products & User Experience:

 

"Back in June, we rolled out a new favicon — the small icon that greets you when you access Google on your URL bar or your bookmarks list — and we encouraged our users to submit their ideas for this important piece of Google branding. We were impressed by the volume of submissions we received, and today we are happy to introduce a new Google favicon inspired by those submissions by our users. André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil, submitted the design that inspired our new favicon: . His placement of a white ‘g’ on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google."
