Google May Soon Introduce a New Logo for Gmail
Sep. 21, 2020Google is reportedlyplanning to introduce a new logo for Gmail. The software giant is said to have sent a teaser of the new logo to9to5Google. There is no word on the availability of the logo yet, but it does seem more like the logos being used by Google for its other services.
The potential redesign comes at a time when Gmail isbecoming a hubthatintegrates Chat, Meet, and Roomsfor enterprise users. On the consumer side of things, Google recentlyadded a Meet tabon Android and iOS. As such, a new logo that signifies Gmail’s evolution from a plain and simple email service to something more integrated and powerful may very well be in the cards.
Moreover,Google has been refreshing the logo of its appsin the recent past. Earlier this year, the company rolled out anew logo for Maps, followed by arefreshed logo for Google Photosin June. In fact, as 9to5Google points out, all Google services now have a modernised logo with Google’s signature blend of red, blue, green, and yellow; except for Gmail, which is still red on white.
The teaser shared by Google is more like an “M” than it is an envelope, although the whitespace implies an envelope shape still.
