The icon Google used to inspire the new one looks better. My only problem with this new one is that the G is offset so much, you can’t even tell it’s a G. Also, does anybody else feel the 4 color logo style is a ripoff of the Windows logo that MS has been rocking for the past 20 years?! The same goes for Google Chrome, it’s just the Windows logo turned into a Pokemon ball.

You can see the user icon that was submitted to Google in their blog post:

Looks like you got your wish. Now we’ve got a REALLY ugly favicon. I’d love to have the blue back.

Courses, masters, universities don’t make business administration people clever, just stupid. Someone has to show that he or she (probably he) does “something” to justify his/her salary. They then pay a lot to a consultant to justify it’s something important and then you get a unneeded logo change.

The new favicon is probably a little better than the second one but none is as good as the first. The first one apart from been quite correct was the one we identified google with. A good brand should never be changed.
