Wait, what. At roughly the 1:34 mark, the voice pulls up photos of her kid with a pumpkin. Do you have to tag your photos with "pumpkin" first or is the recent "Choose the picture of waffles" in Recaptcha fueling that?
Interesting to me is that in the video they use "you can Google it" and "let's Google it". In the past they - apparently - have made pains to avoid using Google as a verb as that's a type of genericisation of the trademark in to a term for internet searching in general.
They've always been fine with people using it as a verb, as long as it's only used to mean searching with Google, not searching in general. That's what would risk genericisation.
That pretty much means the trademark is essentially gone.

Quite the opposite, actually. http://i.imgur.com/bKBcIyX.jpg [1] [1] https://design.google.com/articles/evolving-the-google-ident...
Yes, I said "optical" spacing. Not real spacing. The link you provide is interesting. However, any technical explanation doesn't solve the optical illusion that the last three letters appear to be closer together than the first three letters.

It must be cached somewhere within Google, since shift refresh doesn't update the old url and it's https.
favicons cache differently. You either need to enter a different favicon address (favicon.ico?v=2) or reload and restart the browser. I know it's weird, but favicons are weird.
Anyways I tried it in IE, including restarting it and it still showed the old lowercase g.

Why not just run the search straight from your browser's address bar or search field?
Because, for good reason, not everyone has that set to Google?
I love it. Quite often logo redesign processes gets completely out of hand, but this was a significant improvement over the older version: Cleaner, more modern and beautiful in all its simplicity. Bravo!
I don't like it. To me it looks like a doodle a 12 y.o. made and reminds me of comic sans.
Im almost sure that they are trying to eventually, replace the G with the E as their primary brand identifier. Its a longer strategy and probably smarter.
