Google changes the design of its icons
What is that that has appeared on the screen of my mobile? A new app that I haven't installed? No, this is a new redesign of Google services Yes, the nth Y is that the company knows how important it is to maintain the appearance of its applications carefully, for this reason it renews, from time to time, the appearance of all its tools. On this occasion, of their icons. These are the new designs that we can find in the coming weeks on our own mobiles
These icons have been presented by the company itself through its blog, focusing on the services provided through Google Play Store, your app store. In this way, the tools related to books, games, movies, news and music will have a more consistent scheme, without any doubt that they belong to the set of Google Play, where you can find all this content to purchase and download
To do this, Google has opted for a strong redesign in shape and color On the one hand, you can see how all these icons are now inside a characteristic triangle that is neither more nor less than part of the logo of Google Play Store itself.An identical background for all these icons, but which is clearly differentiated by the color, respecting in each case the tone that can be seen in theusual sections of Google Play for each type of content.
But not only that. The color has also changed on the icons themselves beyond the triangular-shaped background. Although the hallmark of the Material Design style is still present, there is an evolution in the use of color and shapes , marking the shadows and the icons in more powerful and vivid colors Thus, they have built much more visible, striking and remarkable icons. All of them framed under the same scheme, which helps to understand them as part of the same set. Something that will allow new users to understand that these services are part of the same thing.
In this regard, it is also worth mentioning the change suffered by the icon of Google Play Music And it is that it is the service that Greater facial cleansing has undergone. So much so that it is not even possible to find its representative orange headband headphones Google has opted by modifying this element and using a 8th note or musical note inside an orange circle. A change that, although notable, will surely not mislead users, who will have no doubt that it is a music service, although with a renewed appearance . It also doesn't overlook the small, yet visible, changes to the main icon, where the color and even the shape of the bag of purchases from Google Play Store have been redefined
Now we just have to wait and see if Google decides to extend the change of design and colors to the inside its applications And, with the launch of a new version of its operating system, Android N or Android 7.0, changes are expected. Something to which this company has already accustomed us, which does not want to let go or stop creating fashions, knowing first-hand the importance of design in the world of mobile applications
