Google Calculator rounds out gradient icon redesigns
Since we’re presumably still a few weeks away from Pixel Camera 11 rolling out to older phones, Google Calculator rounds out the icon gradient redesigns today.
Google Calculator joins a series of redesigned icons with rounded gradients following the release of Pixel Camera 11. The calculator icon, along with Pixel Camera, Recorder, and Weather, now features minus, multiplication, plus, and equals symbols encased in rounded containers. The overall design mirrors the Quick Settings Tile icon from earlier iterations.
The background color has been switched to white, similar to Google Clock. Google chose green as the theme color for the icon, with the operator symbols utilizing a darker hue than the equals sign. The specific reasoning behind these color choices remains unclear, as the previous gray and blue palette somewhat aligned with the Clock app.
Version 9.3 of Google Calculator has been widely distributed through the Play Store, with no other modifications made to the app. In the past few weeks, Google has redesigned several icons using the gradient design, including Google Calculator, Pixel Camera, Google Clock, Pixel Magnifier, My Pixel, Pixel Recorder, Pixel Thermometer, and Pixel Weather.
