Google is testing more favicon designs within Google Search. I mean, we cover these way too often but hey, I like favicons, don't you?
This one was spotted by Sachin Patel who posted a number of examples on X - I consolidated them all into a neater list so you can see them side by side:

We covered these updates over the years including Google tested new default favicon tests, shaded favicons (not to far off from these), larger favicons, changing colors of favicons, boxy favicons, skewed favicons, full bar favicons and rounded favicons.
