    yeah, I noticed it this morning.

    definetly nicer, more human, less structured.

    Someone got paid crap loads to design it.. ha

    I think its genius, because besides being a small letter G, it also resembles the infinity symbol, which i think is intentional.

    I prefer the old one, the new one looks like some icon that came from the beginning of the photoshop era when people found out the font styles and started using them to write everything.

    Definitely the new one! The first time I saw it I had been awake for 20 hours and I thought I was seeing things and started scratching it off my screen!

    I prefer the old one. I can’t say that I necessarily liked it, but I like the new one even less.

    man i like the old one better. i mean the google logo has a big G in front of it…where did the little g come from in this new design?

    just watch, in two weeks no one will notice and then theyll change in 2 years later an d everyone will be confuzzled.

    its like they did in youtube…they changed the layout for viewing the vids like 6 months ago and everyone flipped. and now its 3ady fel ma3ady.

    I think I prefer the old one, but I liked Ross’s comment that it is now more human :)

    I really like the new header logo too Roba :D

    Definitely the new one since they decided not to include all the google colors in it like the old one. The colors just don’t look good together! Plus I hated the white background on the old one.

    I prefer the old one more, the new one is so dull and .. ehm … it’s just a small g … no imaginations nor creativity in it at all.
