Google revamps Workspace icons under Gemini era at I/O 2026
Google has introduced new icons for its Workspace apps, giving them a modern makeover as part of the Gemini Era.
Shown at I/O 2026 (but skipped in the keynote), the update aims to make each app stand out visually while keeping them feeling like a family.
Google updates Workspace icons visually only
Docs, Sheets, Slides, Keep, Forms, and Sites have ditched their old paper-style backgrounds for cleaner designs.
Calendar, Meet, and Chat now look less boxy and more streamlined.
Gmail's icon is still rocking all four Google colors.
These changes are purely visual: no impact on how the apps work or admin controls.
According to Google, "These visual updates ensure consistency across the suite while maintaining the uniqueness of each app."
Expect these new icons to show up over the next several weeks, including Drive and Tasks.
