I actually considered making CW logo SVG before, but I wasn't sure if every modern browser supported that file format.

Pretty much every browser supports it actually. Wikipedia uses it a lot.There's one context where you should avoid it though : mobile. SVG is much heavier on the CPU than regular images because it needs to render it, when images only need to be decompressed. If it's properly implemented it should use hardware acceleration though in which case it's just fine.

hmm... although i don't really care about logo changes, i find it sad to see the iconic "g" go away :( Now it uses sans serif, which i find ugly :(

I don't mind it personally, other than the G. But it's definitively weird to no longer see the original Google logo after that many years.

I think the new (almost 2 months old) Google logo is fine. Serifs seem a bit wrong for internet logos at this point. I also like the new "Big G" favicon. It sort of resembles Simon.

I wouldn't be surprised if at one point they made the icon look closer to Google Chrome logo to promote their browser. :P

Serif is classy and all, Google's logo was pretty fine before, but of course when you want to rejuvenate a brand that's getting old, a good way is to remove the serif.
