Gmail to get a redesign?: A Gmail redesign could be in the works as Google has teased for the new logo of Gmail. According to a report by 9to5 Google, Google brings out new logos with new services. The new logo is a drawing of the letter M. So far, the classic envelope shape has remained the same since #2004.
As per the report, the potential new logo takes advantage of the blank background that is modern Android and iOS home screen icons. Meanwhile, it’s flat and the outer corners are much more rounded than before, fitting with Google’s latest design language.
Gmail’s new logo is very likely to incorporate the four colours-- blue, red, yellow, and green as it did in the recent #redesigns of Google Maps and Google Photos logos.
"People tell us they feel overloaded with too much information and too many tasks across too many different tools. Instead of learning another tool, we need the tools we already use to be even more helpful, and work together, in an integrated, intuitive way," G Suite head Javier Soltero had said when new features were added to Gmail.
