Google's New Colorful Favicon

Google has a new logo, but it also has a new favicon. It's now a capital G that uses the four Google colors: blue, red, yellow and green.

Here's a screenshot that shows the old favicon launched in 2012 and the new one:

This is the new favicon, which is also used as an icon for Google Search:

You can find it in Google's app launcher and soon in Chrome's app launcher and in Android, as an icon for the Google Search app.

  2. The logo redesign seems to really come into alignment with their "Material Design" icons from Android 5.x

    I like it.

  4. Vastly superior to that awful 'g'. Only slight problem is that the blue and green can't really be differentiated from one another...
