Microsoft recently added an animation or highlight effect on its featured answers or knowledge panels at the top of its Bing Search results.

Google is testing a new shape and maybe colors for the map pins they use in Google Search and Google Maps. The new shape is less of a pin/diamond shape and more of a circle shape. - Doctor Mike At YouTube Health Launch
I don’t watch much YouTube, and I subscribe to a select few channels, and Doctor Mike is one of those channels I subscribe to and watch some of the videos on. He was at the launch event of YouTube Health or something like it.
