The new Google favicon remotely resembles the Windows logo
Google has changed today it’s favicon, again.
Putting it under a looking glass it looks like this, next to the Microsoft Windows logo:
Note the colors are the same. Sure enough, Google uses these four colors in its corporate branding since the beginning. What is curious is that when you rotate the Windows logo 90 degrees clockwise, you get the colors of the Google favicon.
For a good measure, I’m adding another logo using the same colors - the logo of AVG Technologies, a Czech anti-virus software vendor:
The new favicon is a derivate of a Google contest which has drawn a large number of entries. However, designers at Google decided to change one of the entries they liked best.
Am I the only one seeing a resemblance?
