Google Design has an interesting article this week about “Designing for Transparent Screens” and the work that went into Jetpack Compose Glimmer, Android XR’s design system for Display AI Glasses.

A post on Google Design this week takes a look at the design and illustration of the Gemini app, with gradients playing a big role.

As part of open-sourcing Google Sans and Google Sans Flex, the company’s design team this week detailed the modern history of its fonts.

After introducing for Google Search in May, the gradient ‘G’ icon will now be used across the company.

Towards the end of last year, YouTube introduced a “new, softer shade of red” and a magenta gradient alongside other design changes to the app. The team behind it has now detailed the changes.

Given the vast nature of Google, the company has a lot of product/service accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and is working to consolidate them. There are two separate instances with Google Pixel and Material Design this month.

We revealed what the Google TV Streamer looks like earlier this week, and now some of the first specs might have emerged.

Following the Pixel Watch 3, the Pixel 9 series has now arrived at the FCC for regulatory approval.

With Made by Google 2024 next month, the Pixel Watch 3 has arrived at the FCC for regulatory approval. 

A new “wireless device” from Google passed through the FCC this morning, and we believe it to be a new Nest Thermostat.

Google Design published an interview with the “Google Fitbit UX team” that provides an interesting look at last year’s Material You redesign of the app, which is still taking shape.

FEMA and the FCC are putting the Public Alert and Warning System through a nationwide test in the United States. That means that every phone on out every carrier will ring and vibrate with an emergency notification.

Google Design has redone its website, and it is quite fun to explore. To mark the occasion, there is a series of short design films about “The Making of Material You.”

Following the Pixel 7a in February and Pixel Tablet in early April, the Google Pixel Fold has just passed through the FCC for certification.

Google Design is exhibiting at Milan Design Week 2023 with “Shaped by Water.” That installation also happens to include a table of Google products, including the unreleased Pixel Tablet in a new coral color.

Google Design today shared a video “collage of animated experiments inspired by #MaterialDesign,” specifically Material You.

Fitbit just announced a trio of new devices, but it’s already preparing another one. An FCC filing filed Wednesday could be for the Fitbit Charge 6.

Google is now one step closer to releasing a next generation of its Nest Wifi mesh router, with the new model showing up at the FCC and revealing its Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

Ahead of this fall’s Made by Google event, a new “Wireless Device” has shown up at the FCC, which could be a new product for the company’s Nest lineup.

A so-called “Chromecast HD with Google TV” has been rumored since the start of this year and a “wireless device” matching that description has now arrived at the FCC for certification.

Google has created a new emoji (variable) font with “Noto Emoji,” whose defining characteristic is a black-and-white design that tries to capture the “simplicity” of the format – and also happens to bring back the blobs. 

Google applications on iOS have long been criticized for not feeling native to the platform. Earlier this year, the company’s designers reviewed their approach for developing iOS apps and opted for a change. 

Google today opened submissions for the 2021 Material Design Awards. Now in its seventh year, the company is looking for apps with great dark theme, large screen, and motion implementations.

A “Wireless Streaming Device” from Google passed through the FCC on Thursday, which many have taken to mean a new Chromecast is on the way, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
