Gmail features a new logo that integrates with Google Colors

Google has replaced the Gmail logo with a replacement logo that's much in line with the company's other products.

The old Gmail logo was a letter envelope with the letter M in red.

The new logo is now a letter M made up of the brand's primary colors of blue, red, yellow and green from Google.

The new logo closely matches similar logos of Google itself, Google Maps, Google Images, Google Chrome, and lots of other Google products. The envelope is nothing more.

Reports indicate that Google has considered removing the letter M completely or completely removing the red color for Gmail, but people involved in user research studies weren't proud of the changes.

However, the studies helped Google realize that the letter envelope within the service logo wasn't a critical component of the planning , allowing the team to experiment with keeping only the letter M and adding the normal Google color palette.

The new service logo remains predominantly red, with alittle touch of yellow, blue and green within the letter M.

And if you set the new logo next to other Google logos, it's difficult to differentiate between them.

Google has also renewed calendar logos, documents, spreadsheets and therefore the Meet service to match the new Gmail logo design.

This is the instant once we are liberating from defining the structure and role of our offerings in terms invented by somebody else during a very different era, said Javier Soltero, Google vice chairman for Google Workspace.

Google said of the necessity to preserve the identity that folks know while making the brand look fresh and modern: it is a difficult balance, as once you have a robust brand, you've got to be very careful about it.

The new logos are a part of a wider revamp of Google's business software package, G Suite, which has now been rebranded as Google Workspace.

The search giant is trying to integrate (Gmail), (Chat) and (Docs) and place them during a central location, so as to raised compete with the integrated approach of Microsoft's business software package (Microsoft Office) and its Outlook email (Outlook).
