Three years back Google has changed their favicon from blue to multi-colored one by incorporating blue,red, green and Yellow colors from their Google logo, (to suit their branding Google uses these color combinations for their products you can see them in Google Chrome’s logo as well), surprisingly Google gone now with all blue for their new favicon which seems similar to 2008 favicon but this one is slightly with blue color and blue background, you can spot new favicon on Google homepage tab in your browser. We’re expecting official announcement on this in Google blog some time later.
Google’s Blue Favicon
If Google homepage is still showing old multi-colored favicon, then you need to clear the cache to view the new one. You can view new Google favicon below if you can’t spot it clearly in your browser.

It does look good, reminds me of one of the previous favicons of Google, the one with white background and a small “g”. It’s simple, yet elegant.
The new google icon is NOT good. It looks like a white 8 on a blue background. Anyone who believes this is better than the instantly recognizable old icon is a fool. Who decided that everything involving the internet or computers should be blue or gray? I’m sick of this obsession with blue. Blue icons, blue websites, blue desktop themes… ENOUGH!
I HATE it – bring back the old multicoloured one – at least that one was happy.
You should ask Google to do that, I don’t think Google will change this icon and this icon seems existed for their Android and iOS Search apps, they want to have same icon for all platforms.
