Google Updates Its 'G' Logo For The First Time In 10 Years, Internet Has Mixed Reactions
After almost 10 years, Google has unveiled a redesigned version of its iconic 'G' logo. The new design moves away from the solid four-colour blocks. Instead, it blends the logo's colours - red, yellow, green and blue - into a gradient, making it look more vibrant and colourful. The change is subtle, but the new blended logo brings it in line with the gradient the company uses for the Gemini logo's design. So far, the new, redesigned logo appears only on updated iOS and Pixel phones, the Verge reported.
According to the outlet, Google updated its logo for the first time in almost a decade. The firm last made a major change to its logo in September 2015, when it updated its font to a sans-serif typeface. At the time, Google also unveiled a new 'G' logo that incorporates all of the brand's colours.
Take a look at the new logo:

Google has not yet made changes to the main Google wordmark. There is also no official confirmation on whether other product logos will undergo similar updates. The "G" still appears with distinct borders between colours on the web and other Android devices.
Meanwhile, internet users were quick to react to the new logo. While some users called the logo "good looking", others said that they could hardly see any difference.
"Google's new gradient logo is natural evolution. This refresh isn't just overdue, it feels like the design finally caught up with where it always wanted to go. Good business decision," wrote one user. "wut! the logo of google has been changed? I like old logo, that looks better than the new one," commented another.
"It might look like a tiny tweak, but shifting from solid colors to a gradient in the new "G" logo actually helps Google modernize its look and better align with its growing focus on AI and digital experiences. The gradient makes the logo feel more dynamic and screen-friendly, and it matches the visual style of Google's AI products like Gemini-so it's less about immediate gains and more about staying fresh and signaling the company's direction for the future," explained a third user.
"Google's logo updates are the real definition of 'spot the difference'", wrote another.

KTR pitches India's IT potential, urges global firms to invest in tier-2 cities
1 2 3 Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao has urged greater collaboration between govts and tech firms to harness India's youth potential in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) space. During his US visit, KTR met IT leaders in Dallas and highlighted India's readiness to host offshore centres, especially from small and mid-sized firms. "AI will define the future. We must equip our youth and create ecosystems to make India a global talent hub," he said. Recalling Hyderabad's transformation under the BRS govt, he noted: "In 2014, Hyderabad had 3.2 lakh IT jobs. By the time we left office, it had grown to 10 lakh. Companies like Amazon and Google built their biggest campuses outside the US here." He said the BRS govt promoted IT growth beyond Hyderabad, creating hubs in 10 tier-2 cities such as Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Siddipet, Nizamabad, and Adilabad. "Firms like NTT Data are thriving in Adilabad with 500 professionals. We offered rent-free spaces, incentives, and plug-and-play infrastructure," he said. KTR emphasised the need for infrastructure to unlock regional potential. "As former US President John F. Kennedy said, America got rich by building highways. India must invest similarly," he added, appealing to NRIs and investors to back the country's next growth phase.

"False Endorsements, Real Losses": AI-Enabled Financial Scams On The Rise
New Delhi: A digital risk firm has raised an alarm over the rapid rise of AI-enabled financial scams in India in a devastating report that analysed some cases, including a deep fake video of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in which she is seen endorsing fraudulent cryptocurrency. The initial wave emerged with the circulation of deep fake videos featuring Google CEO Sundar Pichai, in which he was falsely portrayed as endorsing a platform called Google Invest, described as a government-supported initiative offering unusually high returns, the report titled 'False Endorsements, Real Losses' by digital risk management firm Athenian Tech said. In its more evolved form, the fraud assumed a sophisticated disguise - a recent campaign replicated the layout and typographic style of the Times of India website to lend journalistic legitimacy to a platform named 'Go Invest' using the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the report said. Further investigations indicate the same ecosystem released a deep fake video of Ms Sitharaman, in which she appeared to be endorsing another fictitious initiative called 'InvestGPT', said the report by the company founded by Kanishk Gaur, who has led leadership roles with Deloitte, EY, and Synopsis. The video, similar in structure to the earlier clip of Mr Pichai, used manipulated lip-sync and voice synthesis to simulate endorsement, reinforcing a now-familiar strategy that relies on public trust in institutional figures, it said. In the 'threat analysis' section, the report highlighted the implications of such synthetic media - they create a misleading sense of legitimacy by showing trusted public figures; they blur the boundaries between authentic and manipulated communication, distorting public perception, and they inflict lasting reputational damage - even after content removal - by spreading doubt and misinformation across digital channels. To fight this new class of digital fraud, the report recommended steps beyond domain takedowns. "What is required is a coordinated strategy that encompasses early detection mechanisms, robust user education, media verification protocols, and stronger accountability from platforms that host such content. In an age where seeing is no longer enough to believe, vigilance must become the default posture," the report said. It also suggested reporting the domain to CERT-In and other cyber security authorities for immediate takedown, notifying the domain registrar and hosting provider to suspend the website, blocking the URL within networks to prevent users from accessing it, raising public awareness about such scams through social media and official advisories, and monitoring for similar domains that may copy this scam to continue the fraud under new names.
