Google keeps experimenting with adsense design

Remember when Google began experimenting with “Ads by Gooooooogle” instead of “Ads by Google” on their Adsense units? It is no secret that Google has been tweaking its ad formats to squeeze every last cent out of them. Here’s a new one I hadn’t seen. I was looking at a page and saw “Ads by Google” and the Google was the stylized Catull font used for Google’s main header image. After refreshing the page, it was back to normal.

If this is old news to you, sorry. This is the first time I’ve seen it, and I’m pretty observant.

What will be next– The full-color Google logo in the ads?

ADDED: This is really strange. Now I’m seeing an ad block using the little favicon image instead of the word “Google”.
