As you have noticed, Google has changes their old favicon that usually shows in the browser address bar or in bookmarks to the new one. The old one was a square red, green and blue edges, wrapping the upper-case ‘G’ that symbolise Google.

The new favicon is showing just the lower-case blue “g” from the Google logo, a bit of shadow and without border like the old one. I think this new Google favicon doesn’t represent the idea of Google and totally different with their logo.

Google New and Old Logo

 <– The old Google Favicon

This new logo make it hard for me to find Google tab especially when i opened a dozen of tabs lmao :-D . So I think the old one is better :-D .

I have just set a favicon of this blog for IE7 browser, because before this my blog favicon only shows in FF browser (and maybe Opera, maybe. I didn’t check it on Opera browser ;-) ) but it didnt shows on IE7 browser. If you have’nt create a favicon for your blog you can visit Chami and make your own blog favicon.
