Google is rolling out its redesigned Workspace app icons

谷歌正在推出重新设计的 Workspace 应用图标

It’s not just you — the Google Workspace apps are getting a new look. The redesigned app icons, leaked last month, are now rolling out widely, as we started noticing this morning. Users with the redesigned icons will notice they now have a gradient look that fades from lighter to darker shades, rather than being the same flat tone throughout, similar to the redesigned Google logo that launched a year ago.

并不是你的错觉——Google Workspace 应用确实换上了新装。正如我们今早所观察到的,上个月泄露的重新设计的应用图标现已开始大范围推送。拥有新图标的用户会发现,它们采用了从浅到深的渐变色外观,而不是像一年前推出的谷歌新 Logo 那样保持单一的扁平色调。

Some of the icons switched from a rainbow design to a single color, like Google Chat, Meet, and Calendar, which could help all of the icons stand out a bit more from one another — or make them harder to recognize. Others haven’t changed as much, as 9to5Google notes, like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, which have the same colors and general approach. As one Reddit user pointed out, though, the Sheets and Slides icons were switched to landscape mode, which is also how most people use both of those apps.

部分图标从彩虹色设计转变为单色设计,例如 Google Chat、Meet 和 Calendar。这可能有助于让各个图标之间更具辨识度,但也可能让用户更难一眼认出它们。据 9to5Google 指出,其他一些图标(如 Google Docs、Sheets 和 Slides)的变化则没那么大,依然保持了相同的配色和整体风格。不过,正如一位 Reddit 用户所指出的,Sheets 和 Slides 的图标已改为横向模式,这也符合大多数人使用这两款应用时的习惯。

The Google Drive icon also got a significant overhaul with rounded corners (and it lost the spot of red it had in the bottom right corner). A few also lost the borders around them, like Google Keep, which is now just a yellow light bulb, rather than一个黄色矩形上的灯泡。As someone who frequently uses Keep, it’s going to take me a while to get used to spotting a totally different icon shape, although I like the overall look of the new one. I also appreciate the cleaner look of the Gmail icon, although it hasn’t changed too much compared to the old version.

Google Drive 图标也进行了重大调整,采用了圆角设计(并且去掉了右下角的红色斑点)。一些图标还去掉了边框,例如 Google Keep,现在它只是一个黄色的灯泡,不再是位于黄色矩形上的灯泡了。作为一名经常使用 Keep 的用户,我可能需要一段时间来适应这个完全不同的图标形状,尽管我很喜欢它的整体外观。我也很欣赏 Gmail 图标更简洁的视觉效果,尽管它与旧版本相比变化并不算太大。

The new icons are arriving right before Google I/O kicks off on Tuesday, where Google could announce even more visual changes to its ecosystem.

这些新图标在周二 Google I/O 大会开幕前夕推出,届时谷歌可能会宣布其生态系统中更多的视觉变化。
