For the first time in nearly a decade, Google has given its iconic “G” logo a visual refresh. The latest update, spotted in the Google app on iOS and Pixel devices, features a blended gradient design that subtly merges its signature red, yellow, green, and blue colors—departing from the previously separated color blocks.
The change aligns the logo more closely with Google’s Gemini branding, which also features a smooth gradient style. While not as dramatic as the 2015 redesign that introduced a new sans-serif font and multicolor “G,” this update signals a continued evolution in Google’s design language toward more fluid and modern aesthetics.
As of now, the new gradient “G” is limited to iOS and Pixel phones. The older version, with distinct color borders, still appears on the web and most Android devices—at least for now.
While subtle, this update reflects Google’s ongoing push to create visual consistency across its expanding ecosystem of apps and AI-driven tools.
