Google's 'G' logo just got prettier
Briefly

Google has updated its well-known logo by replacing its color-blocked 'G' with a gradient version. This marks the most significant visual identity change since the introduction of Product Sans font in 2015. The gradient reflects a broader trend in tech branding, moving toward softer yet defined designs. It aligns with Google's history of evolving logo aesthetics, with the 2013 shift to flat design and the 2015 reduction to a single letter icon showcasing the company’s efforts to adapt to the modern digital landscape.
In 2015, Google reduced its wordmark to a single letter icon; the new gradient 'G' represents a significant shift in its visual identity reflecting current aesthetic trends.
The use of gradients is a safe choice, blending colors in an interesting way that aligns with modern design while maintaining simplicity and functionality.
