Google Messages appears to be getting a more significant branding update.

The Google app's name initially appeared in white, but now some users are seeing the full-color logo, matching reports from July. The Google name is now rendered in its familiar blue, red, yellow, and green colors.

This matches the style of many Google apps, excluding Google Maps.

The rollout seems to be gradual, as most users are not yet seeing the change. Currently, only beta users have access, while other users still see the 'G' logo.

While a small change, displaying the full app name instead of just an icon can be helpful for less tech-savvy users.

Also, many other Google apps display the full name in the header, so this change creates greater consistency in branding across different apps.

Users can also anticipate Material 3 Expressive-themed changes coming to Google Messages. Material 3 Expressive is Google's new design language, and redesign efforts seem to have sped up after the Pixel 10 unveiling. The update aims to make the interface more customizable and fluid, drawing attention to key actions.

"Iconic Phones" will be released this Fall.
