Google Adopts Gradient 'G' as Company-Wide Logo

The update aligns Google’s core mark with Gemini branding to signal an AI-first direction.

Overview

  • Google announced the blended, brighter “G” on September 29 and confirmed it will replace the partitioned icon across the company.
  • The new mark is already live in Search, the Google app, Google Home on iOS, and select web favicons.
  • A phased rollout will extend the gradient look to apps such as Gmail, Photos, Drive, Meet, and Calendar over the coming months.
  • The refresh keeps the four signature colors but blends them in a gradient, marking Google’s first major logo change in about a decade.
  • The wordmark remains unchanged, with the update focused on the standalone “G” and consistent with the Gemini “spark” aesthetic.
