    I think I actually prefer the simplicity of the old one. In general, I find logos with too many textures a little distracting or “noisy”

    Can we make up our minds, please?
    In the 90s-2000s we had these shaded, almost 3D icons everywhere. Then we transitioned to a flat, minimalist style.
    Give us something new and exciting instead of capitalizing on “retro nostalgia”

      The 2000’s were very…amorphous. Like, remember the Cingular Wireless blob dude? Or the MusicMatch logo? Not the black and white jagged thing, the orange blob and blue bigger blob? And how all personal electronics were strange plastic shapes painted silver and purplish-blue? And the world hadn’t gone insane yet?

        The world had gone insane, just in less malicious ways. Blob dude, for instance.

      Yeah, I was like “what new logo?”. I remember when the 2D logo was new and the 3D one was old.

    The new one looks like a serious downgrade, imo

    I might be in the minority, but ignoring the actual design, I’m hopeful that the trend of flat design is coming to an end. Wasn’t really a big fan of that.

      I’m with you, but it is a bit odd for android given the push for material design

      I like skeumorphism done right over material design (the trend of making everything into basic shapes makes me attribute to graphic designer laziness over anything).

      BUT, I wouldn’t want it to be like fashion where every 2 years it flips between flat, simple, material design being what’s hot then the next two years, complicated and glossy icons become the norm.

    Giving up on Material already? But we are only half way through the You upgrade.

    I get the feeling Google aren’t very joined up

      What has Google ever done to make you think the left hand knows a right hand exists?

    This leads me to think that Google is planning on an AR/VR product like the Vision Pro and so they want to make 3D icons and UI elements more prominent (to make the transition easier, the same reason we had 3D icons at the start of computers and smartphones as well), kind of like what Apple did in the last 2-3 years with their new Icons (like on MacOS, they added back a lot of depth with Big Sur)

      They aren’t. They literally just axed their third go at an AR product.

    Are we going back to older, more detailed logos?

    I prefer the flat looking one. Never liked skeumorphism icons.

    I don’t know how I feel about the move from a flat logo back to the old shaded, gradient 3D look, but I am definitely a fan of the font!
