Google Testing Shaded Blue Gradient Site Name & Favicon
Briefly

Google has been testing a new design feature that adds blue shading to the top-ranking result in mobile search results. This enhancement is aimed at increasing the visibility of the most relevant website, as observed by Brodie Clark. The blue shading is applied to the favicon, site name, and URL, creating a distinctive look for the top position. Although reactions have varied, the update suggests that Google is actively evolving its approach to search result presentation to improve user experience.
Google is now running a test where the top ranking result on mobile is made more prominent in Search by having blue shading.
Brodie Clark spotted this and posted about it on X and on his SERP notes page, highlighting the changes in how results are displayed.
