Google updates Workspace icons with gradients to reflect Gemini AI integration

Google is redesigning icons for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and other Workspace apps with gradients, signaling the Gemini AI era. The update, rolling out starting April 26, 2026, unifies visual identity with Gemini, using gradients to indicate AI integration. This follows a pattern established with previous icon redesigns. This visual shift, beginning in May 2025, aims to communicate AI capabilities subtly, aligning with industry trends and integrating Gemini's features across Google's productivity suite.
