My only criticism is concerning the News Glyph. I'm not sure if I identify it as either a webpage or a newspaper. Not that it completely matters, as you can get news from both. I suppose it just kinda bothers me because I'm not sure which it is!
Yes! I'm all for monochrome icons there. I find the current colorful ones distracting. I think the color makes it feel more like a "website" when I think it should feel like just a clean and efficient tool or utility.
I noticed this a few days ago on Google and just saw your post. I love it, MUCH cleaner. Not really a design aspect, but only thing bugging me is the map following when scrolling. As a user it just seems annoying rather than useful and helpful.
Regarding the colorful icons, I don't see a lot of reasons to have icons and not use colors with them, provided that they are not all of the same color. Color is a good way to help in finding something for the user. Also, I don't like the search results left aligned again.
I loved always google but now im crazy about it i love all services that google offer and with the design retouch is gonna be much more awsome so just keep it up.
It's such a natural and subtle change from the last (Which was also great) but this one brings so much more identity. I guess its just one piece of a whole puzzle, and everything will fall into place over time, already everything looks so consistent (gmail, google search etc..) Cant wait to see new stuff you are working on. Awesome job, im in love with it ;)

We're working to get more focused about how we use color across Google Search. Previously, these icons were a rainbow of flavors.

Nice overall. A little tough to glance at the icons for 'News' and 'Shopping' and make the connection.

Thanks, everyone! I should note, lots of designers are working *right now* to bring even more design goodness to Google. Should be fun.
Also, we're hiring. :-)
