Google’s Terminal app is next in line for an icon makeover

The nerdy corner of Android looks a whole lot prettier now.

Google’s Terminal app is next in line for an icon makeover

Android Canary 2608 introduces a redesigned icon for Google's Terminal app, presenting a more contemporary and angular appearance. The updated design maintains Terminal's customary “>” and “-” command-line symbols but now presents a striking resemblance to Google Sheets' icon. Despite the absence of information regarding the widespread rollout of the redesigned icon, this modification aligns Terminal with Google's more recent app icons.

In recent times, Google has been actively revamping its app icons, and it appears that even some of Android's less prominent tools are not exempt from this design refresh. The latest Android Canary 2608 release features a redesigned icon for the Terminal app, endowing the developer-oriented tool with a markedly modern aesthetic.

The present Terminal icon is rather antiquated, showcasing the usual “>” and “-” command-line symbols in neon green on a dark green backdrop. Below is a comparison of the Terminal app's existing icon (left) and its new design (right).
