Google Photos has gotten a new logo to reflect the “simplified experience” it offers users in 2020.<\/p>\n
The new logo was highlighted by Justin Duino, who showed the revamped Googles Photo symbol in a tweet. The icon is a departure from the pointed pinwheel and has a new rounded shape for each of its four sections.<\/p>\n
According to Google, the new flattened logo pays homage to “childhood and nostalgia,” but not everyone seems to be impressed by the “simplified” logo.<\/p>\n
“I’m torn. I like the simplicity, but there is a point when something becomes too simple, to the point where it loses identity,” Arun Maini explained in a tweet. “Why are so many companies going for simplistic logos now? There is no need for change,” one Twitter user weighed in.<\/p>\n
Another Twitter user claimed that the new logo resembles the branding of a US supermarket chain that looks like a fruit bowl.<\/p>\n
Google stated that it retained the “familiar pinwheel shape to remind you of past memories.” Sadly, the pinwheel is unrecognizable in the simplified form, Creative Bloq<\/a> critiqued. Because the new logo has been stripped off of its two-tone shading and pointed shapes, it somehow loses the “tactile quality” and the semicircles now look like “four separate abstract shapes,” the website further explained.<\/p>\n A designer has even redesigned the Google Photos logo without it losing its familiar overall shape.<\/p>\n However, despite criticisms from the public, the new logo is consistent with those of other Google apps, such as Chrome and Maps.<\/p>\n Today we’re rolling out a new, simplified Google Photos experience to help you find and relive your memories.<\/p>\n https:\/\/t.co\/4IXKnkSqkK<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ky9q62sLBx<\/a><\/p>\n — Google Photos (@googlephotos) June 25, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, I hate it. pic.twitter.com\/W5NSKuDjiJ<\/a><\/p>\n — Justin Duino I’m torn.
