Google Play apps will get new icons


Google Play apps

Rows of Google Play apps that we know so far have diverse variety of icons. Play Movies is symbolized by a red film roll, Play Music by orange headphone, Play Books by blue book, and so on. So diverse, sometimes users may think that they are made by different developers.

All that will change as Google has set up new faces (icons) for all the Google Play apps. Since all of the icons carry the "Play" word on the front, so now each of the icons will be packed in a silhouette of "Play" button in its own color, followed by a visual indicator of the medium type.

The use of these new icons will give a more consistent impression for the Google Play applications, where all the icons now look similar, though still fairly easy to be distinguished by color. Especially for the Play Music app, the headphones image is changed to be a musical note, just like in the iTunes.

The new icons of Google Play apps will be coming soon in the next few weeks on all Android and iOS devices, as well as on the web.
