Google’s New Blue Fav Icon [Favicon.ico]
So… A new blue fav icon adorned my Firefox location bar this afternoon when I fired up my iGoogle homepage.
New Google Fav icon:
Old Google Fav icon:
Is Google redesigning their logo or was someone at Google just having a slow Friday?
Perhaps it’ll just change back on Monday and the world will never know!! No. No. Never. I refuse to believe it!
Maybe changing the Fav icon was just a little nugget of nothing for the blogging community to chew on and create buzz… simply a clever ruse…
EDIT: Apparently the new icon isn’t yet appearing on localized versions of Google, but this is normal of anything Google rolls out anyway.
