I am a fan.
I absolutely love it. The integration with the colored dots, the four colored 'G' logo, it's all really well done.
The most important aspect of it is that it makes Google feel smaller. They're now longer the massive corporation, they're fun, playful, using a childlike aesthetic to put that off and feel less intimidating; it makes it so they are one piece of the whole Alphabet, very centered now as that G.
And in personal taste, I really enjoy it. Meanwhile, Chelsea hates the damn thing and can't even look at it. That doesn't seem to be an unpopular opinion either, though I wonder how much is just lack of recognizing the familiar.
THANK YOU. it looks like Google's first day of preschool or some shit.
What large, friendly letters.
(You have, said red riding hood)
I googled something around 2pm today and sat there for at least 5 minutes just staring at the new favicon confused.
Then I realized their doodle told me everything I needed to know
I really like that font. Apparently it's one they made themselves, but I hope they release a TrueType or OpenType font for it eventually.
