If something on Google Maps on Android and iOS seem different to you, it is because the logo that appears in the lower corner to the left of each card has been updated.
Previously, the “Google” logo in four colors (with a white border) appeared in the lower left corner of the card layer. On the shelves, the foldable and the desk, it is centered on the lower edge of the right column.
In recent weeks (the “old” screenshot on the left is in mid-May), it has become “Google Maps” with black or white text depending on your system / device theme. Like the other logos of products from first part, “Google” is thicker than “cards”.
Old vs new
This is an interesting brand change for the application, which already has the multicolored pins icon in the search bar. Black / white is a little less distracting than the four -colored version, especially in full screen mode (sweep up on the search field). Again, the card layer is already quite busy, so it is not a huge reduction.
We see this change in Google Maps logo widely deployed on Android (version 25.21) And iOS (25.22). It has not yet been updated on Maps.google.com.
