As we get closer to I/O 2026, Google is tweaking the Gemini app icon to be a little more colorful.
There is no change to the shape of the spark, as it is officially called, but it is a little larger than before. Since last July’s redesign, blue has been the dominant color.
With today’s adjustment, the blue has been reduced a bit from the top, left, and bottom quadrants to make way for more red, yellow, and green.
Old versus new
Plus, those colors are much more vibrant and solid with less gradient.
Again, this is a tweak and most probably won’t notice the change, especially in app icon or web favicon sizes.
This is being implemented with version 1.0.913571982 of the Gemini app on Android that provides the shortcut to the home screen. It has not yet been widely implemented.
The updated icon is now available on iOS and in the Gemini app for macOS.
