Goodbye Black Bar, Hello Grey Bar - Google+ Gets a Visual Update
December 01, 2011
Quite a departure from the "black bar" that we've come to expect from Google+. Here's what it looked like yesterday - and interestingly still looks like on another computer of mine (I'm guessing there is a browser refresh issue there):
You'll note that in the old style of header, you had quick access to other Google services. This has now been moved to a drop-down menu when you hover over the "Google+" logo in the upper right:
This is all part of Google's overall effort to bring a stronger visual identity and simpler user interface across its various products and services.
So far in brief period of using it, I like the new redesign. How about you? What do you think?
P.S. If we aren't already connected on Google+, how about adding me to a circle on Google+?
