TL;DR<\/p>\n
New icon designs for many popular Google apps and services have been showing up over the past several weeks.
\nToday Google formally announces the new designs for Workspace products.
\nIt could still be another week or so before everyone gets access to the new looks.<\/p>\n
Some of your favorite Google apps and services have been getting a new look lately. Late last month, we caught wind of a big new redesign<\/a> coming for the icons associated with many Google products, leaning hard into the color-gradient aesthetic<\/a> we first saw the company experiment with over a year ago. In the weeks since, those changes have been hitting more and more users<\/a>, and we saw Google featuring many of these icons at I\/O 2026<\/a> last week. While you may have thought they were as good as official already, today Google<\/a> finally gets around to formally introducing them.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n All told, 14 Google Workspace products are picking up new icons: Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Meet, Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Vids, Keep, Forms, Voice, Sites, and Tasks. According to the company, the redesigned icons are meant to \u201cdrive consistency and cohesion across our product suite\u201d while still offering \u201ca more distinct identity\u201d for each app.<\/p>\n Google’s new icon designs: Yay or nay?<\/p>\n 295 votes<\/p>\n I love the new looks!<\/p>\n 52%<\/p>\n Not a fan.<\/p>\n 20%<\/p>\n I really don’t care either way.<\/p>\n 24%<\/p>\n Mostly fine, except for (share in comments)<\/p>\n 4%<\/p>\n While many of the redesigns keep the same basic look for their icons and largely focus on new coloring, others are very much looking to reinvent themselves. Google Sheets, for instance, drops its \u201cpage\u201d icon in favor of a more abstract design that really zooms in on some spreadsheet cells. Others seem much more conflicted about just how much they want to change \u2014 Google Meet takes on a bold new yellow color but can\u2019t seem to shake its old-timey camera design<\/p>\n If you\u2019re still not seeing these new looks in all the places you\u2019re expecting to, don\u2019t worry, as even though Google says it got the ball rolling on wide deployment last week, we\u2019re looking at an \u201cextended\u201d rollout timetable, and it may take well into June before everyone\u2019s got the new icons.<\/p>\n What do you think about the new set?

And just remember, even if these aren\u2019t for you, Pixel users can always just go full disco with their icons<\/a>.
