Google’s gradient ‘G’ icon, design is going company-wide
Google replaces its decade-old four-color logo with a rainbow gradient to reflect creativity and AI innovation, with rollout expanding across apps and services since May.
- On September 29, 2025, Google announced it will make the rainbow-gradient Google 'G' logo its company-wide icon, replacing the older partitioned four-color mark across the brand.
- Google says the change reflects its evolution amid AI and aligns with digital design trends using gradients to symbolize AI-driven innovation, energy, and inclusivity.
- Google began phasing the update earlier this year on Android and iOS apps, extending to web services with Gemini AI platform and Google Help support site integration.
- Rolling out at scale poses engineering hurdles for engineers and product teams, while Google users worldwide may see unified branding that industry insiders and analysts will monitor in coming years.
- Having started earlier this year, the change will roll out more widely in the coming months across Gmail, Drive, Meet, and Calendar, while observers track its impact in the coming years.
