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

Google is rolling out new gradient icon designs to its apps, featuring softer, rounder corners and pastel-to-saturated color transitions. This design change is part of Google's new design language, which has already been seen in updated versions of the Google G logo, Gemini, Photos, and Maps. The new design is thought to represent the presence of AI-powered features. Engineers should be aware of this change as it may impact app design and development.
