The end of the World seems more likely than Google changing their design on their website. However, it did happen but it’s not official yet. As you can read in this post Google has already made som changes but now they can’t seem to stop. If you want to see the new design go to www.google.com and type the following in the address bar:

javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=
4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);

Hit enter end then F5 to update the site.

This will only work on Google.com and not the local regional search sites. The design change is not revolutionary but it shouldn’t. The to buttons below the search field are blue with white text and the logo has been “flattened” and the shadows are removed.
