With the launch of the Pixel 11, Google has updated a handful of Pixel app icons to better align with its latest design language.
The biggest update is to Pixel Camera, which still mostly takes after a DSLR. The body is a rectangle with corner flash and centered viewfinder. Besides the updated shape, there’s a new color palette in Pixel blue. The gradient reflects how ML and AI have long been part of the Pixel Camera experience. This update coincides with a big update to the actual in-app viewfinder.
The primary change to Pixel Weather is going from a blue background, which fittingly represented the sky, to a plain one. Besides the icon, we haven’t noticed any major changes to the app itself.
Similar to Weather, Pixel Recorder drops the background color for a red waveform that is less detailed than before and a bit more stylized.
Google Calculator also drops its background to place the minus, multiplication, plus, and equals symbols in green (dark and light) circles.
