Google Maps Logo
- Meaning and history Like all Google products, the Google Maps service has its visual identity fully based on corporate colors.
- 2005 Created in 2005, the service had its logo designed in the same year.
- The very first version also included a gray “Beta” lettering under the wordmark.
- 2006 — 2009 Later, the company returned to the lettering “Maps.” 2009 — 2010 In 2009 the “Maps” part was moved to the right of the main wordmark.
- In the same year, the first icon was designed.
- 2013 — 2015 Here, the gradient was almost gone, due to which the wordmark was almost flat.
- In 2012 the dot was replaced by a red location flag, and a little later the 3D map was changed to a flat and brighter image.
- 2015 — 2020 The typeface was changed to a stronger and more modern sans-serif, and the “Maps” part was now written in a title case using a light gray color, which added professionalism and reliability to the whole visual identity.
- There was also a separate icon for Chrome designed — the rounded map with a capital white “G” on the left and a red location flag on the right.
- The mark is executed in red, yellow, green and two shades of blue, the signature Google colors, and has a delicate white dot in the middle.
- There are also two new icon designs, created in the same year.
- One of the features only the colorful emblem, placed on a white background, while the second icon is composed of a white square with rounded angles, and a smaller emblem, placed above the blue thick stripe with the upper side arched.
- Version number one of Google Maps Icon is a simple location mark symbol, set on a white or a light gray square background.
- Another version is a more colorful one, with the green, yellow, gray, and blue geometric background, imitation of the street map, and a solid red location mark.
