Google has recently showed the new dropdown integrated with their Logo/doodles. The interesting fact is that it seems they are going for more minimalistic approach, reducing the place it takes on the screen, as well giving the search engine better layout look. Will it succeed?It will cut the needed for the clicking, but the more interesting fact is that their brand with this will have better exposure thus their products will have more users. As they have done the redesign of the Gmail, Google Calendar, Maps and other have gotten the new look and this is actually the logical step to integrating all products under the same look. Divided by the popularity the list expands as you point arrow over the logo. If you ask me this is one of their better steps. I hope that they will roll out this look really soon.
Simple, nice, effective.
With Google + on the rise, this was the smartest move they could have done. Now on the right side there is the new notification bar which is far nicer than the current one.
Fancy.
Some users have already expressed their opinions, saying that the enjoyment with this new, experimental layout is far bigger than with the black one. To get the new bar follow these steps:
Go to the Google.com
In Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + K
In Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + J
Them copy paste this code.
