Ever since Google 'unified' its app icons (a.k.a. making them basically indistinguishable from one another), many have been calling for an update. With criticisms over the designs' clarity and accessibility, Google was accused of prioritising its brand aesthetic at the expense of legibility.

Even the Google logo itself has seen a number of iterations across the years, but the brand consistently proves it isn't afraid of evolution, for better or for worse.
