It has happened twice in one year! What? The change in Google's Favorite Icon… First it happened in the month of June 2008 and now at the start of the year 2009! Don’t see it? Visit http://google.com/favicon.ico and refresh the page.
Here is the series of change:
Google’s new fav icon (January 2009):
Previous one (May 2008 – January 2009):
Original favicon: (??? – May 2008)
It seems that the one that was used earlier on was not the final one and that is why Google even held a contest looking for different submissions.
