GOOGLE has updated its logo for the first time since 2015 – but only the most eagle-eyed fans might spot the difference.
The tech giant’s iconic ‘G’ icon is seen by hundreds of millions of people every day, but can you tell how it’s changed?

One of the biggest design makeovers came in 2015 when the new ‘G’ logo was introduced that featured the brand’s iconic colours: blue, red, yellow, and green.
That ‘G’ logo has remained unchanged since then, but has finally been updated.
On the old logo, the ‘G’ icon had four distinct blocks of colours.
But on the Google app for both iOS (that’s iPhone) and Android, the logo now sees the colours blending into each other.
It matches up with the newer design style that we’ve seen being used with Google Gemini.
That’s Google’s relatively new AI chatbot, which is designed as a rival to ChatGPT.
Both the text and icon logos for Gemini have blended colours that move from blue to purple to red and pink.
That means we may see other Google logos following suit in the coming months and years.
For instance, apps like Google Drive, Calendar, Maps, and Gmail have all kept their distinct colour blocks.

GOOGLE GOODNESS
Google’s main full-word logo has also changed a number of times over the years.
In fact, even the order of the colours has been swapped – though you may not have noticed.
The original 1997 logo started with a green letter ‘G’, followed by red, yellow, blue, green, and then red letters.

The third logo, which ran from 1999 right through to 2010 adopted the current colour format that we all know: blue, red, yellow, blue, green, red.
Since then, the only major changes to the main logo were three font updates in 2010, 2013, and 2015.
That same 2015 style has been retained, notably for being the first Google logo with a sans serif font (meaning no lines sticking out from the ends of letters).
