I noticed that Webmaster tools and Adsense icons switched over a few days ago, but now my browser favicons for Google are those icky coder-puzzle boxes?
Well just before I hit the submit button I found this article:
The latest favicon is a re-interpretation of the winning entry by André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil.
Resende’s entry consisting of “a white ‘g’ on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google.”
The new favicon incorporates the bright colors of blue, red, yellow and green also on the Google logo.
From the original design of Resende, the Google team said they incorporated minor changes including slight change in the color layout and moving the “g” off-center.
It looks like some kind of goofy quilt made by an 8 year old. Now that I see there's an off-center "g" in there I am even less impressed.
