Google Workspace was announced as a rebranding of G Suite in early October, revamping its approach to being productive without an office. As part of these changes, new icons will appear for all Google Workspace apps. The rollout is currently underway.

Google Mail

Just like Maps and Photos earlier this year, Gmail uses an icon that uses the four Google colors of blue, red, yellow and green to form an “M”. Red still has the largest share, but it comes as Google moves away from accent colors in its apps.

All previous Gmail icons clearly have an envelope. This is only implied as Google uses the space above and below the middle caret / chevron to form an envelope. It is smart that all modern smartphone icons are placed against a white background anyway.

Update 10/14: The 2020.10.04.337159408 version of Gmail for Android launches today with the new icon. Apart from the home screen, it is not visible anywhere else in the app, which was also the case before, as there was no welcome screen. The status bar icon is now an outline of the Gmail logo.

The revised branding also reaches the web client for some users, but is not yet generally visible.

Google Drive

The drive is relatively unchanged, but the triangle has slightly rounded edges. There’s also a very subtle splash of red after the icon was previously only three colors. It’s the smallest change, but in the end, one of the most delightful.

10/14: Google Drive is the first app with a new workspace icon available to end users. Version 2.20.401.06.40 is still being introduced on Android via the Play Store, but the list has yet to be updated. The new icon will appear on the home screen icon and on the welcome screen.

If there is another change, Google will update the icon that appears in the Android status bar. It is covered with the material issue and is now just a hollowed out outline.

The new drive icon will also appear in the web app. This is a straightforward replacement in the top left corner, even though the favicon has not been updated resulting in a mismatch. The icon in the Web App Launcher is also the older version.
