Maybe I'm afraid of change. I preferred the big G, personally, but I can’t really say why. Maybe I’m afraid of change.

I think it looks nicer. However, I don't actually remember the old favicon, I just knew it looked different. I totally noticed. I think it looks nicer.

We felt the small ‘g’ had many of the characteristics that best represent our brand: it’s simple, playful, and unique. We will be looking to improve and enhance this icon as we move forward.“ more on http://arbitness.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/why-google-changed-their-favicon/ Search Engine Land has an official position from Google:

I don’t associate large “G” or small “g” with Google. Whether I see Google or google, I think of the Google website. When I type it into the Address Bar, I type google.com, but that’s just because I’m too lazy to capitalize it. The word “google” no longer has any meaning to me. I’ve said it too much today.

I know I heard it somewhere. Was it you who shared that google was a play on the word googal which is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros? I know I heard it somewhere.
