I actually like the google Favicon. The Color Break “turns windows on its side” and the lowercase “G” is much nicer than the Capital G. working within the small confines of a Favicon I think it is very attractive and recognizable.

I like Andre’s submission with the solid blue on the left side. The g is more pronounced. Eidetically: of visual imagery of almost photographic accuracy.

If I just leave off my design hat, I do prefer the color background over the blue “g” from a usability point of view. I can now scan the tab bar and see which tab is Google. Can it be done better though? Oh I’m sure.

Yes. Yes it does.

Lowercase “g” – bad choice. Same colors as the windows logo? worse choice.

The new favicon sucks.

Not much more to say, except redesign it soon!
