Can we make up our minds, please?
In the 90s-2000s we had these shaded, almost 3D icons everywhere. Then we transitioned to a flat, minimalist style.
Give us something new and exciting instead of capitalizing on “retro nostalgia”The 2000’s were very…amorphous. Like, remember the Cingular Wireless blob dude? Or the MusicMatch logo? Not the black and white jagged thing, the orange blob and blue bigger blob? And how all personal electronics were strange plastic shapes painted silver and purplish-blue? And the world hadn’t gone insane yet?
Yeah, I was like “what new logo?”. I remember when the 2D logo was new and the 3D one was old.
The new one looks like a serious downgrade, imo
Yup. I don’t like it.
As a longtime android user, thank God they’re finally listening and focusing on the most important problems!!!

Not really into the 3d aesthetic sorry, still too 2010ish for me
Is this serious?? Or is this a meme??
This leads me to think that Google is planning on an AR/VR product like the Vision Pro and so they want to make 3D icons and UI elements more prominent (to make the transition easier, the same reason we had 3D icons at the start of computers and smartphones as well), kind of like what Apple did in the last 2-3 years with their new Icons (like on MacOS, they added back a lot of depth with Big Sur)
Giving up on Material already? But we are only half way through the You upgrade.
I get the feeling Google aren’t very joined up
What has Google ever done to make you think the left hand knows a right hand exists?
I think I actually prefer the simplicity of the old one. In general, I find logos with too many textures a little distracting or “noisy”
Same.
What is old is new again.
Are we going back to older, more detailed logos?
Here, use this instead.
That’s actually a lot better :/
I prefer the flat looking one. Never liked skeumorphism icons.
I don’t know how I feel about the move from a flat logo back to the old shaded, gradient 3D look, but I am definitely a fan of the font!
I kinda like it, and hope we see more of this. Maybe skeuomorphism is not the best idea for UI elements these days, but for things like icons it makes perfect sense.
Many apps in iOS still use beautifully detailed icons which make for eyecandy without sacrificing functionality.
