Working as a Senior Graphic Designer within Google’s art department (2012), Roger Oddone led the effort to expand on the iconography style started by Google’s Creative Lab team. The goal was to create a solid, yet flexible, set of guidelines to help Google’s designers and vendors to produce high-quality work that helps strengthen Google’s identity.

Product icons

A product icon is the unique and memorable visual representation of a Google product. They are simple, modern, friendly, and sometimes quirky. Product icons are highly simplified, exaggerated, and caricatured in nature so that they are appropriate for use at small sizes. Some of the product icons are literal, but they can also be metaphorical, symbolically representing the features of a product.

 

 

 

Logo lockups

Logo lockups are usually formed by the combination of the product icon with its name or just by the name. They are the brand ambassadors and are immediately recognizable.
