This updated favicon is good. Google with some thing new is always acceptable.

I don’t like the new logo actually. I prefer the older, simpler, more streamlined, and I feel more elegant look. The current logo seems too busy to me, a bit of a mess, especially in the favicon.

It screams, “hey look at me!”

I notice that they still have the uppercase “G” surrounded by the multicolor box as the icon on the Google Bar and next to the search feature in Firefox…

By using similar logo, maybe they want to say “I want to be Microsoft”, who is the market leader for operating system. They want to keep domination the internet. Sometimes we want to use attributes that keep remind us of our goal.

invest money, I somewhat agree, but I also think that the opposite is likely to be true – Google is the market leader in search engines and Microsoft has such a bad reputation elsewhere that it seems odd that anyone would want to associate themselves with any negativity.

On another note, I see that this post has been picked up by a couple sources that are bringing quite a bit of traffic. So to those of you finding drivelocity for the first time, welcome!

Nice catch. Thank goodness Google has continued to innovate at the top. Let’s hope they don’t go the way of Microsoft.

Thanks Gennaro!

I saw something recently about Google coming out with a hard drive of sorts & some speculate that an operating system is right around the corner. Won’t that be interesting?

I also noticed that the new favicon uses the same colors of the Super NES logo. Coincidence? Maybe not!

Thanks for pointing that out Abdul! I didn’t notice that. If the green and yellow were switched, it would be in the same order as Google’s and Microsofts…

Ebikes, I’m also a fan of Google, but grew a little concerned recently when I read about the problems with the Feedburner transition, i.e. bloggers losing subscribers… I’m sure they’ll get it straightened out though.

According to babelfish, that translates to “and that things thus are the news…”

Sorry, my Spanish isn’t what it used to be. Can anyone clarify? I’ll take a stab at it and say that it’s news to me as it interests me and that’s why I posted it. Apparently, it was also seen as newsworthy by a couple Spanish news sites (linked posted in previous comment).

Thank you for visiting kk.
