Google Plus Icon Redesign

My main issue is that G+ is what it is commonly referred too, even by Google, so I really don't understand your statement that the letter "G" has no meaning, it has contextual meaning. Also using this letter that isn't associated(beyond being in the word Google) is rather confusing and unlike "G+" is actually meaningless. Also Confusing is that O+ is a preexisting blood type, combined with the use of "flowing" red this looks more like the logo for a blood drive center trying to rip off Google, which what I initially thought it was.
