Gmail expected to gets a new design soon teased by Google

To make it’s more prominent Gmail might get a brand new logo very quickly.

According to a media report, this seems to be part of Google’s larger plan to give Gmail a facelift, with other changes planned as well. This follows Google’s recent integration of Gmail with Google Meet and Google Chat, which suggests that Gmail wants to move away from being just an email platform.

The new in-the-works logo features an ‘M,’ but doesn’t explicitly have the traditional envelope to accompany it.

According to a report by 9to5Google, Google sent an image to the organization that indicates that it is working on a new logo for Gmail. Instead of explicitly featuring the envelope icon, the new logo only implies the envelope shape through the whitespace above and below. The outer corners of the icon look more rounded than earlier.

Google has been making a shift from marketing Gmail as just an email platform, the recent integration of Google Meet being one such move. The new logo seems to be another step towards moving away from Gmail’s association as just an email platform.

The image of the new Gmail logo in the works is an uncolored technical drawing. The report suggests that Gmail will incorporate the usual blue, green, yellow, and red colors into the new logo, thanks to similar moves with other Google services, instead of the red and white color scheme Gmail currently has. As Google usually reveals new logos along with broader service redesigns, it is possible that Gmail could see some major tweaks in the coming months.
