Back in March, Google launched their redesigned search results page, which removed the yellow background color for the ads and gave things a bit more spacing. Jon Wiley from Google said then the new design "improves readability and creates an overall cleaner look."

But, not surprisingly, most of you dislike the new design. With over 600 responses, 59% of you said you do not like the new design. 25% of you did like the new design. 10% were not sure if they liked it or not and 6% just don't care.

Google Design Poll

With any major design change to anything on Google, be it their logo, search results, or other properties, most people dislike it. People dislike change.

Forum discussion continued at Google+ & Google Web Search Help.
