Google redesigns its logo and navigation menu
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Google's new navigation menu will offer access to all of its apps (Google+, Gmail, YouTube, Drive, etc.) through a discreet grid in the corner of the browser. Announcing this update, the internet giant has also revealed a subtle facelift for its logo.
The classic black horizontal stripe that currently appears on Google's websites will give way to a layout more familiar to Android users. Users will be able to access any of the brand's services through a menu with icons in a grid layout, which should make for smoother navigation and a less cluttered screen.
After officially announcing the new interface Thursday, Google will roll out the update progressively over the coming weeks.
