New Google Favicon
Many people noticed a small change: Google has a new favicon. and it’s a 16×16 pixels image, a standard size for favicons. Google replaced the upper-case “G” in blue border, green and red borders with a lower-case purple “g” in a rounded corner rectangle.
The first time when I saw the new favicon at Google Image Search, I thought there was something wrong with my browser’s cache or I typed an incorrect address. Google’s new favicon is less cheerful and comforting, but it makes a lot of sense: the small g is a symbol for infinity (∞). A googol (10100) is just a poor approximation for the huge amount of information that needs to be indexed, organized and made useful by Google.
{ Thanks for the tip, Louis, John and Aleksandr. }
Update: If you want the old favicon back, try (requires Greasemonkey for Firefox, Opera or a userscript plug-in for other browsers).
