Google's new Logo is the Bigggest update in Sixteen years

Google has introduced a new logo today. Just a month after unveiling a major restructuring of the company, Google is giving itself a new image.The logo is now a whole lot more modern and playful. The colors are also bit softer than they used to be. The logo is much similar to the logo of Google's new parent company, Alphabet, as well. 

As Google's video introducing the new logo notes, the wordmark has been evolving ever since it was created in 1998. But this is easily its biggest change since 1999, when Google first cleaned up the lettering and settled on its four colors. Since then, the logo has just been flattened out more and more, with today's update representing a huge leap. In addition to changing up the wordmark, Google is also changing the tiny "g" logo that you see on browser tabs. It's now going to be an uppercase "G" that's striped in all four of Google's colors. 

Google says that the new design will be rolling out across all of its products soon — in fact, it's already on Google's homepage, with a cute animation that wipes away the old logo and draws in the new one.
