Google has updated the Google Earth app icon on its Play Store listing to a more colorful, gradient-heavy design, replacing the old all-blue wavy-line logo with one blending lavender-blue and bright blue tones. The new icon currently appears only on the Play Store and the Google Earth Engine website, while the Google Earth website and the installed app still show the old icon.
