A new look for Google Play family of apps

Whether you like watching Despicable Me on Google Play Movies & TV, streaming “Sorry” on Play Music, battling your friend in Clash Royale on Play Games or reading John Grisham’s latest on Play Books, Google Play is your home for the best apps, games and digital entertainment. 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.

 

You’ll start to see the new Google Play icons across devices and online in the coming weeks. We hope you’ll continue enjoying the Play family of products—now with a new look.

 

 

 

 

although it's only a change of icons, it's still pretty good that Google is using Doritos as their unifying design.

I chuckled way too hard in my head at that one.

Well honestly I can't say I like the icons I think the colors are way too bright but hey that just me.

I absolutely love it, they look great.

I fully expect the Doritos corporation to partner with matching flavor of Doritos. I want a rainbow Dorito, damn it!!!

[kuzimins]

beautiful. Now, a play store redesign please.

I thought they were going the iOS minimalist route not the snack food direction?  

 

I think it's a downgrade in design. Plus the colors are too similar so the logo and doritos blend too much together.

i think its cool that they are going with a unified design

NUMIX icon pack every day of the year

Wow such a diverse selection of icons. All I see is copy paste here. I am not impressed.

My 8 year old can come up with more imaginative designs.  (truly she can)

i think thats the point for the icons to be unimaginative and predictive

[SparkyRain]

Thanks then. Now I can find the bloatware right away.

Good change in my opinion. It makes it really easy to see that they belong together (in my trash folder). Their current designs makes it impossible to tell that they all are in the same family.

I hate them, that they all look like a "play" button.. ok I know its google play, but "books" are not "played" etc

not the greatest designs, shoving a triangle behind them does not make them "coherent design" just makes them illuminati 

[Thony]

I dont like it.

I remember when they changed google maps icon, it took me months to get used it LoL.

I dont think people want a bunch of aligned triangles on their screen. 

 

Typically you would have only one app handling a certain task. For example just Google Music as a music app. In that case you'd rather have a bold icon that represents its function. Obfuscation isn't a problem to begin with. 

 

I get it they want people to associate the apps to Google but that can be done in other ways. 

put a giant G instead of a triangle?

Oh lord. It's not that bad and it's about 'Play' branding more than anything else. They want to clearly mark their Play apps for what they are so they are recognizable. It is after all where they provide content. So that's also where they make money. They want you to find the place to deposit money quickly and easily.
