Way to suck.
(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?"

'Do no evil', my ass.
They already blew that with their adsense cancellation policy. :P

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.
