Interesting read, though it doesn’t convince me: it seems they are accepting new designs, if you have any ideas! Thanks Wisdump for the link to that Google reaction. Update 3:

Unless Google is planning to change their world-renowned logo to be just "google" without starting with a capital G (no!), they really need to keep the favicon as a capital G, not a lowercase g. It doesn't look at all like it belongs to the same company as their logo, until eventually you realize "oh, it's the fourth letter from the logo". Bad. Regardless of what style the favicon is, the letter G really needs to be capitalized. Oy, this is a bad move.
