The Google icon used until now has been a 'G' mark made up of four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue.

This icon was announced in May 2025. It has been changed to a gradient design that gradually changes color from red to yellow, green, and blue. According to Google, this design will 'symbolize the growing AI-driven innovation and creativity across Google products and technologies.'
