I just saw the new Ads By Google for the first time, in which the Google (in Ads By Google) now is an image.  I don't know if I really like the new Ads By Google because it seems like they are just trying to force brand recognition on all sites displaying their ads. I feel that we should probably receive a PPM for displaying google ads with the "google" as an image. If this beta test results in all ads becoming like this, I will probably use Yahoo ads on all future sites.

These ads will probably dissappear in a month just like the text ads with images next to them did.
