Google Maps offers up new Logo

Category: Google Places (Maps & Local) – Mike Blumenthal – 6:00 am

How do you know that you have been looking at Maps too long? When you wake up one morning fire up your screen, head on over to Maps and you notice that something just doesn’t feel right.

Well sometime just before falling off to sleep it came to me, the logo was new. Not exactly sure when the logo change occurred but the print and mail links were also removed from the deep list view of the business as well.

The send option is visible in the Maps view and (who knows when they added this feature) and offers the ability to send one or all of the results from a search.

Please consider leaving a comment as your input will help me (& everyone else) better understand and learn about local.

  1. They recently announced that they’ll unify the style of logos on their products.

  3. I noticed that, too, Mike! I thought maybe I was imagining it, though. Guess I’m guilty of spending too much time looking at Maps, too. I like the rounded font.

  4. I noticed the logo change a couple days ago on Google Finance, didn’t pick up on it in Maps till you mentioned it.
