Way to suck. (http://www.google.com/favicon.ico)
(Control-F5 if everything looks at it should.)

Really, I use a dark theme for firefox and it looks hideous.

Wow, just got my new system set up at work - thought it was just a firefox thing.  I was like, "Why is firefox using such an ugly icon for google in the search bar?"

The new one is supposed to be the product of some competition they had.

The new one looks way out of place.

Someone won a competition by switching the logo from the first 'G' to the second?

We recognized there was a need for a Google icon that would better work across multiple applications including web, mobile and client applications. We felt the small 'g' had many of the characteristics that best represent our brand: it's simple, playful, and unique. We will be looking to improve and enhance this icon as we move forward.

Perhaps we should all email google and tell them we disapprove of the new icon.

Edit: Haha, I searched for "google's new icon" and came up with this site: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/017268.html

At first I thought it said "Digital Paint forums" on the link.

I've been thinking about how i could fix this.Then i found stickytape.

Method:
1.Find tape.
2.Find paper.
2.5.Write "g" or "G" on it.
3.Sticky tape paper over symbol.
4.Realise it looks better.
5.Enjoy a new, betterer, symbol!
