Google Navigation

Google has updated it’s navigation menu from what was the fixed horizontal bar to what’s now a dropdown menu when hovering over the Google logo. This was most likely done for usability reasons, seeing as the average person focuses on left elements first which means it will now be a lot easier to get to common Google section. In terms of design, I would have preferred the menu to be completely white, I’m not sold on the heavy use of dark grey I think it’s detracting and at least should be toned down to a lighter grey.
