Google unveils new Workspace icons to unify design while preserving app identities

Google formally announced redesigned icons for 14 Google Workspace apps to create a more cohesive visual identity across the suite while keeping each app’s unique character. The redesign leans into a color-gradient aesthetic, with some icons going abstract (Sheets) and Meet adopting a bold yellow yet retaining its camera motif. Deployment is expected to be gradual, possibly extending into June, and Pixel users can opt for a disco-style icon option.

Google rolls out gradient-powered icons for Gmail, Drive, Calendar and more

Google is gradually rolling out a gradient redesign for Workspace icons, updating apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar and Tasks with colorful gradients. The new icons are visible on Google's homepage launcher, but in-app icons haven’t all updated yet. The refresh moves away from the old four-color scheme to softer gradients (Calendar and Meet show distinct blue/yellow shifts; Keep and Tasks also look different). A broader rollout is expected around Google I/O 2026.

MacOS 26 Tahoe Introduces Dead Canary Utility App Icons

The article criticizes the new icons for utility apps in MacOS 26 Tahoe, describing them as poorly designed, unimaginative, and lacking in clarity, which reflects broader issues in Apple's design approach. The icons, unified by a wrench motif and constrained by system-imposed squircle shapes, are seen as lazy and unappealing, with specific examples highlighting their flaws and lack of meaningful symbolism. The critique suggests these icons symbolize a deeper decline in design quality at Apple.
