Jun3
It makes me want to vomit.
Why, Google, why? Why did you take something so perfect and elegant and ruin it?
You make me sick.

i’m glad i’m not the only one that feels this way.
@googley: haha, harsh. : )
Hmm.. well.. whatever it is..
while talking about design issues,
you shouldn’t have added those ugly black outerglow/dropshadow to those favicons!!!!

i think it looks pretty cool and stylish
Yes. I hate the new favicon too. I hope they change it soon, cause this is a “big” mistake! :p
Oh I know! I saw it and was like, “What the heck is that??” Google usually has such nicely designed stuff, where did this come from? I agree, it sucks.
Photoshoppppped
Noticed the first day they did it, I guess they were just trying to update their old out-dated favicon, but agreed, horrible. Lets get XKCD to make a comic about it….. haha
I noticed it too, can’t say it distressed me quite as much as you though.
Yeah, I fucking hate it as well. I want them to change it back.
Google maybe trying to have trade mark or brand change and testing it with favicon.
