Google's new logo has freaked out the whole world. The 17-year-old tech company's new look which was unveiled on September 1 gained different reactions from netizens.

Though many find the new logo attractive and friendly, others think it is frightening. On Twitter, the netizens expressed their personal opinions regarding the new logo.
The new logo of #Google is super cute!

I like the Google rebrand, btw. If anyone can own that and wear it well, it’s them. They’ve proven that the last few years. — Frank Chimero (@frank_chimero) September 1, 2015
Many believe that the new look is only the beginning of something more threatening in the future.
Google's new logo looks less threatening, which probably means they're getting ready to do something more threatening pic.twitter.com/nP12IGJLna

For one brief, horrible moment, I thought the hand was going to erase "Google" and write "Alphabet" in its place. pic.twitter.com/EFyof2Xseg — Lance Ulanoff (@LanceUlanoff) September 1, 2015

Netizens have been wondering why the tech company made a makeover. To answer the questions of the users, Tamar Yehoshua, the Vice President of product management explained the new look on the company's official blog site.
"So why are we doing this now? Once upon a time, Google was one destination that you reached from one device: a desktop PC," explained Yehoshua, "These days, people interact with Google products across many different platforms, apps and devices-sometimes all in a single day."
In a two minute video attached with the new serif-free logo, Google showed and explained the evolution of the company in providing digital services from search to navigation.
This is not the first time that the company has changed its logo. In the past the leading tech company was able to modify its logo six times. The multi-colored 'G' will soon be visible on the other services of Google like Gmail, Maps, Chrome, Search and others.
