Google tampil dengan favicon baru

Biasanya bila sesuatu laman web/blog menukar ‘favicon‘ (short for Favorites Icon) tidak ramai yang sedar dan perasan dengan perubahan tu. Mungkin bagi sesetengah orang, favicon tidak bermakna apa-apa.. Tapi tidak bagi Google.. Adanya favicon membuat sesebuah laman web/blog menjadi lebih unik.. Aku suka tengok favicon di blog-blog orang lain.. Malah di blog aku ni pon ada favicon juga.. Cantik tak favicon blog aku? Hehe..

Google terkenal dengan ikon “G”.. Kali ni Google memperkenalkan favicon baru yang lebih berwarna-warni daripada favicon sebelum ni.. Favicon ni pada asalnya direka oleh André Resende, kemudian diubah sedikit demi sedikit oleh pihak Google sendiri. Untuk info lanjut korang boleh baca kat sini..
