Google’s new gradient icon design is coming to more apps

Google is rolling out new icons with a gradient design to its apps. The new look is softer, with rounder corners and gradients transitioning from pastel to saturated colors. This design language has already been seen in updated versions of the Google G logo, Gemini, Photos, and Maps. The new icons are more playful, vibrant, and varied, reflecting recent design trends. Many icons have shifted to a landscape layout, making them more visually distinct.
