Google updates ‘G’ logo, now with gradient-like design

Google has silently made a minor update to its ‘G’ logo for the first time in nearly after a decade. While the color scheme remains the same, the company gave it a smoother, gradient-like appearance.

In contrast, the current logo, which was introduced in 2015 when Google updated the Google font to a sans-serif typeface, had solid lines separating the colors in the “G” logo.

The said update has been rolled out to iOS and Pixel devices, and it’s currently being rolled out to other Android devices.

Meanwhile, the full “Google” logo remains unchanged, and the company doesn’t appear to update it. As for other Google products, it remains unclear whether they’d get the same treatment.

Presumably, four-colored logos such as Google Maps and Gmail could get the same gradient-like appearance.
