Google has made an update to its famous logo…by moving a few pixels.

The changes to the ‘g’ and ‘l’ – look closely – come down to kerning, with the bottom of the ‘l’ not lining up with the ‘e’ before.

Google’s change was pointed out on Reddit, although it seems it was not an eagle eye that saw the change, but a practical mind: “The end of the url of the image location changed from "logo10w" to a "logo11w".”

Someone with very good eyesight or too much time on their hands also pointed out “They also changed every colour slightly from logo 6 to logo 10.”
