Change is everything....

....according to Google.

You may have noticed the new google logo on its page.

This one..

I thought at first it was one of the many Google doodles that appear on the page, but no, this is Google going all material design on itself.

So, what do you think about it?

Personally I think it looks a bit naff, much prefer the older one but I guess they thought it was time to change with users getting younger and younger....

I couldn't really care either way.
The doodle they did of it changing the other day looked like kids writing on a chalkboard so I would agree that they felt a target at the younger gen was required.

This is how Google Search page is looking on my PC today. I couldn't see Google for the trees at first!!

When mouse pointer hovers over the image the "tool tip" reads "Joan Aiken's 91st Birthday" so Happy Birthday Joan whoever and wherever you are!

Funny you should ask that @jonsie - that was my immediate reaction. It does have a certain Christmassy look about it.

Thanks @MI5 - Can't be her 91st Birthday if she died in 2004, can it?

I have the same image as @Anonymous on my PC.....I wasn't sure whether it was Christmassy...or little Red Riding Hood (and friend) being chased through the forest by the big bad wolves
