Stupid New Google "g"

I am just complaining about the new, lower case "g" that Google uses as its icon. When it was first changed, I had no idea what it was and it threw me off. Now that I know, I just don't like it...

    I actually prefer it. Old one was cool, but now it looks antiquated, being so plain and large, etc.

    +1. Don't like it either

    Ok seen it now and I can say no I don't like it either but I seen it with the g thing with some greyness on the outside edge of icon. I also use Google search which has the old style icon shown all the time on IE window.

    Also not a big fan. Glad I'm not the only one who notices.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I think my issue with it is it doesn't look very strong. It's just some limp little letter that doesn't command. Beef up Google!

    I have to go with the new one.

    The old one looks like a font you'd see at the Library of Congress; the new one looks like a snake, ready for action, font-wise.
