Google Search Testing Rounded Favicons

By Chris Barnhart On Jun 23, 2022

Google is testing a rounded corner design for the favicons displayed in the mobile search results on snippets. Brodie Clark shared some examples on Twitter saying “On the back of recent testing of favicon sizing on mobile, a rounded version with a grey background has appeared. Similar to previous tests, the brand name/domain is also repeated at the top.”

Similar to previous tests, the brand name/domain is also repeated at the top. High res image & SERP timeline: https://t.co/j6IUtkSa1z pic.twitter.com/1ETLGp1IXv
