Looks like some creepy, hacked-together flower-power "g".

This one?

What's wrong with it? Unless I'm seeing something different than everyone else, I've had that Favicon for months now.

EDIT: Just opened Google in Opera, different story XD Actually it looks weird at first but It's fine with me actually. Don't know what to vote though, I'm kinda in between. I guess I'll vote I like it, something new :-) I still prefer the old old one (the one before the purple g, my FF search bar uses the old old one. Its a capital G in a white box) though.

ugly imho. It looks like something a 3 year old drew to me.

Oh, please. Quit complaining about a 16px little icon that shows up in the very corner when you use google.:popcorn:

yeah you have to clear your cache to actually see it. but before, it was just the same G only blue and centered, i dunno i like this more, its more unique and since it uses the google colors i can instantly remember it being 'google'.

Yes, I only noticed this when I installed the Windows 7 Beta.

i think it has a '70s guitar mass appeal.

Yeah I edited noticing it in Opera (which didn't have the old one cached). I'm too lazy to clear my FF cache right now though :P

Ugh. Like old one WAY better. I mean, they had the new one just doesn't blend with the homepage.

Although, upon reflection, it's like they took the Windows four-color-flag icon, flipped it over, and squished it with their awesome "G"-ness. So I guess it might not be that bad after all.

Everyone got all mad when they unveiled the lowercase G, now this is bad too. Whateva. It's fine by me.

It works, but I keep forgetting my tab is a Google tab because of the new icon. I don't like it, I miss the original one.
