Google has just announced these new icons for their Google Play family of apps. The new flat icons are a refreshing change and look really elegant compared to their previous versions. They feel a lot more colorful, visually appealing and, in a way, nicer than before.
The change was announced by Jonathan Chung, Visual Design Lead, Google Play on the official Android blog.
Since launching Google Play four years ago, we’ve always had dedicated apps in addition to the Google Play store. Today, all our icons are getting an update to provide a consistent look across the entire family of Play apps.
These new icons will be gradually rolled out across devices as well as on the web in the coming weeks.
