Google change Search Engine Appearance

Google Collect their product and services to a single icon.
Google change their product and services to a single drop down icon at top right corner of the Google web page. With a name 'apps'.

g+,Search,you tube,map,play ,News ,g mail ,Drive ,Calender

Translate, Books, Blogger, Photos  . Use appropriate icons to each service to indicate, this is not visible in the previous Google web pages.

previous versions these are visible in a series manner at the top of page without icons. But now they use more GUI to attract their services to every single user.
