The Google Calendar branding is designed in the same style as the icons for other Google Workspace services.

The designers made it so abstract that the square multicolored frame with the number “31” in the center does not evoke any associations counting the week’s days. Users first saw the redesigned icon when they updated the app to version 2020.42. The changes were implemented gradually: first, the modernized icon appeared for Drive, and then it came to Calendar. The global rebranding affected its products – in particular, their color scheme and iconography. In 2020, the G-Suite cloud suite was renamed Google Workspace. Another light gray element appeared above the calendar. The upper half of the numbers are now light gray. The base was still blue, but the designers split it in half with two shades. 2015 – 2020Ī new calendar format replaced the torn-off piece of paper. The folded corner has been retained as a recognizable design detail. Instead of a full-fledged drawing, the artists depicted a blue calendar sheet with the white number “31”. In 2013, the Google Calendar logo began a period of minimalism.

The style of the lettering did not change, although the shades of the colors became slightly lighter. The graphic was under the name of the service. The folded corner of the sheet made it clear that the calendar was not over yet. The last day of the month was indicated on the open page: “31”. Unlike the first version (2006-2009), it contained a list of numbers. After another update, the tear-off calendar returned to the logo, only in a more modern form.
