Google drops the shadow (well, mostly)

Google has always felt like one of those logos/brands that you just can’t touch. Based on the typeface Catull, it’s nothing ground breaking but it has always been unique because it truly mirrors the Google brand (open and accessible). I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed (or at least took note) of the new google logo, colors and icons. So, what has Google changed—and why do I like it?
