Have you opened Google today? If you have, then you will see something different, after 17 years running and growing until this point, Google finally has a new logo.
As you can see, Google logo is now cleaner and tidier than
before, giving the impression that it's more enjoyable. The new logo can be
said as a form of Google's commitment to be the center of information on all
sorts of devices, not only via computer, the place where Google was born and
introduced for first time.
Today, we are already able to access Google through smartphone,
tablet, television, smartwatch, even from the dashboard of the car. Therefore,
Google also feel the need to have new identity. Even so, this new identity not
only in the form of logo alone, but also includes other elements that you often
see when you are dealing with Google.
The microphone icon you normally tap to activate voice
search or dictation feature is now also composed of four cores of Google
colors, i.e. blue, red, yellow and green. When Google is listening to your
voice commands, the animation will also look different, as you can see in the
image below.
Lastly, the blue 'G' letter that we used to see in some
platform, such as in the smartwatch, now has been replaced by the letter 'G'
that has consisted of four colors to adjust to the latest Google logo.
This is not the first time Google introduced a new logo, and
the company that's now led by CEO Sundar Pichai explained that most likely this
is not the last time. Google's new logo will soon visit all Google's products
and services in the near future.
