Mon May 12 20:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Google quietly updates its “G” logo on iOS
**Mountain View, CA** – Google has subtly refreshed its iconic “G” logo, marking a small but significant change to its branding. The update, currently rolling out exclusively on iOS devices, features a redesigned “G” icon within the Google Search app.
The previous “G” logo, part of the 2015 Google rebrand, featured distinct color blocks forming the shape of the letter. The new iteration retains the same color palette but transitions between them smoothly, creating a blended gradient effect. The full “Google” wordmark remains unchanged for now.
While Google hasn’t officially announced the alteration, the change has been observed by users and tech blogs over the weekend. Given the infrequency of Google logo updates, the company is expected to acknowledge and explain the redesign shortly. The update signifies the first visible modification to the 2015 logo design, following a similar pattern seen with the Google Play logo’s 10-year anniversary refresh.
