Google goes Blue!

Google Search's favicon has been changed. This new favicon is a lowercase "g" on a blue rectangle (instead the old four color one). Google did not announced this change officially but it seems they are going to unify the official Google logo in all platforms (include Chrome OS and Chrome browser, Android and iOS). Previously  Google Search logo on Chrome OS and Chrome Browser and Google Search app for Android and iOS had been changed to this new blue icon.

Anyway, I think the new icon/favicon is pretty amazing and inspiring. Its blue color is   beautiful and relaxing; however seeing a blue favicon on the tab bar is a bit odd.

If you can not see the new favicon, maybe clearing the cache comes in handy in some cases; if not, you should wait a bit longer!
