New Google Calendar illustrations roll out, dark themes included

As announced on Friday, Google Calendar for Android and iOS now have “refreshed illustrations.”

There are two sets of updated drawings, starting with the monthly cover images in the Schedule view on phones. This artwork is featured much more prominently as the background on tablets. 

Notably, these updated illustrations change/adapt to whether you have the system Dark theme enabled. It’s a rather nice touch.

Google Calendar also now features “more modern illustrations” for events like coffee, lunch, doctors appointments, flights, meetings, birthdays and much more. These appear throughout the app.

This is widely rolling out as a server-side update today.
