New Google ‘G’ logo comes to favicon, Search widget with Dynamic Color, more

Google’s new ‘G’ logo appeared on stage during the I/O 2025 keynote, and is now live in more apps and the web.

The new logo made its debut with the Google app on Android and iOS last week. It’s now being used for the google.com favicon, though it’s a little bit difficult to make out the gradient effect. That said, you do still notice how red merges into yellow, yellow into green, and green into blue. 

Meanwhile, the Google app has updated the Search bar homescreen widget with the new icon. This also applies to the Dynamic Color option, or what the customization screen calls “Device.” (The Pixel Launcher search bar has yet to be updated even with Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1. Google should really refresh that for the final Android 16 release.)

Search AI Mode is also using the new logo at the very top of the input page.

On iOS, the ‘G’ logo appears in the top-left corner of every Search results page. The Android app just uses “Google” up top.
