New Google Home logo surfaces on iOS with a bit of Gemini flair [Gallery]

Google has been teasing the debut of Gemini for Google Home for an October 1 unveiling, and now a refreshed Google Home logo has also surfaced.

Earlier this year, Google acknowledged the ongoing problems with Assistant and Home, teasing that “major” improvements were to come. The company has since made it very clear what those improvements stem from. Gemini, because what else would it be?

Google has also teased a Gemini debut for Home coming on October 1, with new Nest camera hardware and a “Google Home Speaker” also in the pipeline.

Now, a new Google Home logo has surfaced.

On iOS, an update to the Home app is currently rolling out with a new app icon that shows the logo with a new gradient effect. It’s very similar to Google’s updated Gemini styling that rolled out in July. The new logo was spotted by Tom Warren, but it’s widely shown in the App Store, and the icon also appears on your homescreen after updating Home. It looks to have a bit of Liquid Glass styling at play too.

So far, we’re not seeing this on the Android app.

Through recent app updates, though, we already know that Google is giving the Home app as a whole a revamp around its new AI-centric goals, so this is probably just the start of a bigger rollout to come.
