What’s new in Google’s updated logo?
Google’s new logo comes with a subtle but noticeable design change. Previously, the “G” icon was represented by four solid colors – red, yellow, green, and blue – with sharp borders clearly separating them. In the new design, these colors are smoothly transitioning into one another. Such as red fading into yellow, then yellow into green, and then green into blue. This gradient effect is similar to the Gemini AI logo, which Google uses for its artificial intelligence tools.

2015 Logo Redesign: A Quick Recap
In 2015, Google reworked its entire logo. It was a beautification of sorts. No longer was the logo a floppy, silly-looking thing. Instead, it became a handsome, modern, sans serif typeface called Product Sans. From the legibility department, it was a huge improvement. The logo also shed its formerly multicolored shadows and gradients. But then, at the same time, it introduced the now-familiar circular ‘G’ icon with four solid colors—no shadows, no gradients. Until now, that design has remained unmoved.
Where Can You See the New Logo of Google?
At present, the latest Google emblem is visible solely in applications on iOS, Google Pixel devices, and in the beta version of the Google app. If you’re not currently experiencing the new logo, you can achieve that result by updating the Google app via the Play Store or the App Store. With that simple maneuver, the latest logo design might suddenly appear on your smartphone.
Why Did Google Make This Change?
The design update shows how Google is moving toward an up-to-date, AI-based visual identity. Colors blend together well, and in some spots, you could even call the design “ambient.” Now, let’s not kid ourselves: This is not a version of the iOS App Store. (In fact, a few pages later, I came across an app called “Google Humor for Kids Video Store,” so if this is what MKBHD calls AI-driven, sign me up for Team Skeptic.)
How to Get the Google Updated Logo?
If you want to see the new logo of Google on your phone:
- Make sure you’re using the Google app from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
- If you’re part of the Google beta program, update the app to the latest version to see the new logo.
- Pixel users and many iOS users already have the new logo by default.
Conclusion
The revised “G” logo is a subtle yet significant modification that keeps Google’s branding contemporary and in sync with current design trends. If you’re using an iPhone, a Pixel, or the Google beta app, you might already be seeing the new icon. If not, try updating and see if the new Google logo graces your app. The tech giant hasn’t made an official announcement about this particular change, but if you’re a user of Google’s products, this small but fresh touch might be coming to you soon.
