Update: If you hate the new Black Menu Bar in Google, here is How To Disable Black Menu Bar in Google [1]Search.
Google has been known for it’s simplistic design on their pages except for when they decide to use some fancy Google Doodle [2] on it. However, apart from that their clean white interface with minimal links has been liked my numerous amounts of people.
However, off late, Google has been playing around with a lot of new design changes for their home page and search results pages. It all started when they decided to add a Bing link background [3] to their homepage and continued with a slew of other changes including removing the “I am feeling Lucky” button [4], using a new design for search results [5] and yet more [6], simplifying the image search results [7], adding top references to results [8] and more.
The new updates were targeted towards changing the look and feel of Google and their search results. Today, they also rolled out [9] a major update to their home page where they have made the Google logo smaller and have moved the links to the bottom of the page. They have also added a new navigation bar at the top of the page to allow users to navigate through their services.
I found the black color used in the bar a huge contrast to their homepage. I would have preferred to see the old white background with blue colored links. Right now it looks very similar to what Twitter [10] has as a menu bar.
Google claims that its new design provides more focus to the user and is created using the latest technologies like HTML5 [11] and WebGL. Don’t expect it to work on older browsers.
Additionally, Google has also rolled out the Google+ social media service [12] and What Do You Love [13] which is a new search engine to find information about what you love.
