Key Points:
- Google is preparing to launch new gradient-style icons for Workspace apps like Gmail, Drive, and Meet, replacing the previous four-color design to improve app differentiation on home screens.
- The redesign aligns with the gradient aesthetic introduced in Gemini-enhanced Google apps, giving each Workspace app a distinct visual identity.
- Although Google has not officially released the new icons yet, independent designers have recreated them in Figma, allowing users to download and apply the new icons on various platforms such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
- Users can access these recreated icons by signing into Figma, exporting the files, and manually replacing existing app icons using third-party launchers or shortcuts.
- The rollout of the new icons is anticipated soon, possibly around the upcoming Google I/O 2026 event, complementing other Workspace updates like AI enhancements in Slides and Sheets.
