Google changed its favicon last year and many people said that the new one was ugly. Probably this the reason why Google decided to use another favicon starting from today. The new favicon uses all the colors from Google's logo, while keeping the same lowercase "g".Marissa Mayer tells the story of the new favicon which was inspired by André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil.
André Resende, a computer science undergraduate student at the University of Campinas in Brazil, submitted the design that inspired our new favicon. His placement of a white 'g' on a color-blocked background was highly recognizable and attractive, while seeming to capture the essence of Google. Although we changed the color layout slightly and moved the 'g' off center, his submission formed the basis for our new design.TechCrunch gives The Story Behind Google's New Favicon.
