Everyday now when I go to Google Search I’m surprised. It’s changed, the search box and fonts are bigger. It’s uglier, the buttons seem even more bland than before, and I seriously don’t know why they changed the font size.
Did someone really had a problem with readability of the other one? Now it’s just too big.
So despite Google not getting prettier at all, it’s surprising how such a small change can be disturbing to the eye. Maybe it’s because there’s so few elements on the page it’s hard not to notice.
