I am seeing reports of Google testing a new look for their image search results. This one looks more white and tiled format then the other.

You can see the results are more white but also tiled in more of a format that overlaps images a bit. In addition, the title and URL of the image is also shown by default, without having to click on the image.
Here is the new test - you can click on the image to enlarge:

Search Engine Journal also spotted a person on Twitter noticing this design recently:
OMG the Google Image search results page changed, like, drastically. For a brief moment I even thought I had pressed the wrong button somewhere. pic.twitter.com/k7wipCiZor
