Google Updates 'G' Logo for the First Time in a Decade

[MacRumors]

Google has updated the look of its well-known "G" logo, changing the design of the character for the first time in 10 years.

The new logo was first noticed by 9to5Google, and while it has the same shape and color palette as the original, there is a gradient that blends each of the colors together instead of the previous color block look.

Google is already using the new logo for the Google Search app on iOS and the Android Google app. Google has not updated its full six character logo with the change to the G logo, as that design does not use blended colors.

Finally. The old G was looking so tired and stale. The new one looks sharp!

Well done Google design team. You’ve outdone yourselves!

well I suppose at least there trying something I guess not like the rest of the world doesn't use photoshop theses days

Doesn’t help on improving their search results.

Go on, i'll bite...

Maybe it’s just “instantaneous nostalgia”, but I prefer the “old” one.

I bet they paid a lot of money to some Marketing firm to come up with that 🤪

“Gemini, create a new app icon image for use by the Google app. It should feature a large “G”, in the Google corporate font, in rainbow colors, on a white background”

- day in the life of a Google graphic designer​

"Don't lay me off. I'm useful!" - some designer in the group.

With an ‘update’ like that, you’d think the developers worked for Apple’s software department, as well! 😂

 

[bmark]

This is like putting lipstick on a pig!

 

[DocMultimedia]

I approve. Smoother with additional complexities. Like a fine wine.

 

[tomtad]

Anyway I still don't think Google have found a good logo really. The G always seemed lazy

 

[Havalo]

Blurred as their ethics 😁 perfect fitting.

The original always reminded me of Pac-Man

I’ve always said that CEO’s change logos when they don’t know how to heal problems ailing their core business.

They used macOS color picker as a bg

I have finally seen and heard everything. Its time to turn off the internet, its was nice knowing everyone.

Something tells me that the"major redesign" of ios19 will be about as equally titillating.

 

[Lurker-Monkey]

It doesn’t matter.

Big whup, Google

The new Google logo is still using that tasteless monstrosity known as flat design, which was pioneered by Microsoft and then copied by Google (and then copied by Apple because Tim Cook is clueless and mediocre).

Surprisingly, the gradient helps a lot. I could spot it immediately. The logo looks slightly less tacky.

The intern added gaussian blur and said he created a new icon eh?
