I didn't notice that the logo changed
but the thing on the left is annoying

The thing on the left annoying, mainly because I don't need it to be there lol

Wikipedia changed, too, and I can't help but look to the left when I need to search for something.

the changes to the logo look way better to me. the heavy drop shadow was making it look dated. but i agree about the search. i think it's annoying.

For the logo, I love it! It's a pretty damn simple tweak, but it modernized the whole image.

I agree with everyone above me that the options on the left look ugly and is annoying, but I kind of understand why they added it. There are so many sources of information now, it makes sense to have a very clear way of filtering it all out. If only there was a nicer way of doing it...

I'm looking for a greasemonkey script to change it back right now

taking simplicity a bit too far

i agree. the wikipedia search bar relocation caught me by surprise. i missed it being on the left.

and i think everybody seems to agree that the left bar on google is annoying.

Did YouTube change also? I personally like not having the drop shadow.

I don't care about Google's redesign too much, but I liked the drop shadow behind the logo.

Yes, big-time. I prefer the old YouTube layout, mostly because the "related videos" sidebar actually contained videos related to the ones I was viewing.

i didnt like the thing to the left, but i find it helpful when searching google images. i like being able to filter by size.

I hate the new youtube.

removes the sidebar.

Hmm I didn't know the logo changed too, but it's much more vibrant. It will late a little getting used to now that I have spotted the difference. I like the old logo's drop shadow -- this is coming from someone who is not to fond of them on logos either!

And the new left hand column is shifting gears to what Bing has done for their browser accessibility I guess!

Too many changes happening at once! Deviantart has changed their site up a bit too.

I noticed this last night. They've made a lot of little tweaks this year and last.

Posted by: Dominiloka Jul 10 2010, 11:17 PM

I must be lost in space because I didn't notice these changes at all. >.< Even the sidebar, FAIL. lol

The design is fine, I guess. Didn't really pay attention to it.

idk if ppl already knew this, but there's an option now that's not from google chrome to change the appearance of google's home page search engine. i changed my background to lady gaga :)

Posted by: Uso Jul 11 2010, 10:26 AM

are you talking about I-google?

Posted by: Cum Aug 13 2010, 12:10 PM

lol yeah it's cool how the theme fades in when the page loads

Posted by: schizo Aug 13 2010, 01:07 PM

Whoa. Did they just change the way the images page is or did I click a magic button or something?

Posted by: ButtsexV2 Aug 13 2010, 04:29 PM

they changed it a few weeks ago

Posted by: spambot Aug 13 2010, 04:31 PM

I don't know if I like it all that much

Posted by: schizo Aug 13 2010, 05:37 PM

I was just searching stuff the other day and it wasn't like that. :/ I kinda like that clicking on an image brings you straight to it instead sending you to the website first.

Posted by: emberfly Aug 14 2010, 12:49 PM

logo looks so much better.

I use google daily.. never even noticed that thing on the left.
