This is about as newsworthy as whoever [insert celebrity name] is dating right now.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but the newer design actually looks less modern to me. Blending the colours makes the logo feel more complex, gives me more of a late 2000s Windows Vista kinda vibe. I'm not sure if it actually has a subtle light reflection effect going on as well, but that's another design trend that used to be a lot more common around that period.

As someone that always hated the trend to ultra simple and flat, I'm OK with it. On the other hand, I used to feel positively about Google back when they last changed their logo, so they can DIAF with their shiny new G.

I'm also getting the less moden thing, but to me it's ios 7.

Same, but I actually kinda like it. Looking at the old one it does kinda look dated to me. Design trends change every so often, maybe it's time to go back to more fancy things.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, maybe we will start to see this type of thing elsewhere soon. The whole Y2K millennial bait thing is very popular at the moment, lots of people are feeling nostalgic about tech.

Glad they have their priorities in order. I was really bothered by that G I never pay attention to.
