Google Unveils New Logo

Google has announced a minor - but significant - redesign of its homepage and logo

The design removes the black navigation bar currently seen at the top of the site. Instead it replaces it with a cleaner white version, and a icon resembling a grid of dots which is used to pull up a menu of its different apps

It also switches the current rounded 3D-effect logo for one which is flatter, and has more muted colours.
Google said that the redesign would roll out slowly to its millions of users, and that it was intended to "streamline" the use of its services.

The redesign is the first permanent change to the logo since 2010.
