Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Ruth Kedar has said the team chose primary colours but put a secondary colour on the letter L, “which brought back the idea that Google doesn’t follow the rules”.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteWordmark lettering from 2015: Product Sans, created in-house by Google; the 2026 update uses a modified Google Sans. The 1999–2015 logo was based on Catull, a serif typeface by Gustav Jaeger for Berthold (1982).
Logo type: wordmark
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
