Google appears to be ditching the flat, minimalist style that has shaped its apps for years. Now, it’s introducing a vibrant gradient redesign. We’ve already seen this gradient icon style in Google Photos and Maps, and now it looks like it’s coming to Google’s Workspace apps too.
The company could be launching a bold, gradient-focused redesign for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Meet, and more, according to 9to5Google. The strict rule that every icon had to use all four Google colors is gone. The uniform page backgrounds that made your app drawer look like a rainbow blur are gone too. Now, the icons finally stand out from each other.
