Google may be testing a new logo for the Play Store
Google has recently removed the “Movies & TV” tab and is also expected to end the “Play Book” service eventually to make the Play Store “entirely focused” on Android apps. According to a report by 9to5Google, the future of the “Play” section of the Play Store looks brighter as Android gaming on Windows got a “big push” last year. However, the report mentioned that the fate of the dedicated Android app doesn’t look as firm. The report also states that the last time the tech giant changed the Play icon was in 2016 when Play Movies & TV, Music, and Newsstand “were still vibrantly kicking.” Now, Google has decided to change the logo after more than six years. The old icon which was used before 2016 had more shadows and was àlso placed everything in triangles, the report claims.
Google Play Store new logo: Design
As per the report, the company has maintained the triangle design but noticeably the corners of the new logo are much more rounded than the present one. Moreover, the four colours look more closely aligned with Google’s colours which “is the clear trend and mandate of recent revamps,” the report suggests.
Apart from that, the blue and green in the new logo looks “less vibrant” while the internal division has also been changed for each part to look more proportionate in size. In the current logo, the blue triangle is bigger than the other three partitions.
Google Play Store new logo: Availability
The report mentions that a mere low-resolution version of this icon is now available which can be found in both GPay and Google Pay (which is soon expected to become Wallet). Users can find the new logo while making a Play Store transaction like — adding credit to their account, as the merchant icon.
Moreover, the report also claims that there is no information about when the company updated the service with the new logo. Meanwhile, the latest icon is not live anywhere in the Play Store app or play.google.com which was also recently redesigned, the report states.
