NEW GOOGLE LOGO

Google has come up with new looks and has removed the black navigation bar. It can be seen on it's sites where a new menu has been introduced and it's similar to Chrome app launcher placed upside down.
Google products are now accessible under a new app launcher, located at the top right of the screen.

As per Google+ daily, there are nine popular Google service and in a 3x3 grid each represented by the icon and name of the service. They are
Google+
Search,
YouTube
Maps
Play
News
Gmail
Drive
Calendar

Also the launcher has a "MORE" button option on which when clicked, the following 8 google services will be displayed:
Translate
Books
Offers
Wallet
Shopping
Blogger
Finance
Photos

Google has officially confirmed these changes.The company also confirmed that both the changes will be rolling out worldwide gradually. Google+ Community Manager, Justine Rivero acknowledged that the new menu will roll out over the next few weeks.As part of this design, Google has refined the color palette and letter shapes of the Google logo.

The new launcher is visually appealing and Google services will offer these services as in menu and not as hyperlinks placed on the top of the page and it will be much more minimalistic way of putting a link to all Google services while a user is accessing any one of them.Once the user is inside an app, there will be no distractions, hence Google is introducing an updated Google bar that streamlines user's experience across products and devices.

The only drawback of this launcher is that most of the user may not realize it even if it's there as the app grid will be hidden untill the user clicks on the launcher button.


Also for the first time YouTube will display the Google navigation bar. The video sharing service currently doesn't feature the black navigation bar seen on other Google services.

The time taken for the testing of this navigation bar is almost half a year with operating system, a Google focused third-party website receiving the first screenshots of the launcher in February.

As per Google Plus Daily, the new navigation launcher has been in testing for almost half a year with Google Operating system, a Google focused third-party website receiving the first screenshots of the launcher in February.

This is the second try by Google of replacing the black Google bar. Prior to this Google had tried to implement a similar menu called Google menu, replacing the black Google bar, in November 2011. But the lack of positive feedback lead to its removal and Google placed all service shortcuts on the black bar in February 2012.


Hope this time people will like it and there will be no back out by Google this time. All the Best.
