Google is making the gradient "G" its new company-wide logo, according to an announcement on Monday. The new logo first began to surface across the Google app on Android and iOS in May, but soon, the design will begin to appear across all of the company's platforms, marking Google's first big logo change in 10 years. Google separated the red, yellow, green, and blue in the colorful "G" logo it introduced in 2015.

As this co-dependence became outwardly obvious, another aspect of their relationship - this one more formal - was being negotiated in private. Google didn't just need Reddit to fill out its search product. It needed Reddit to train its AI models and to provide those models with fresh material to retrieve, summarize, and synthesize once they were deployed in products.

Google has been implementing cost reductions across 2025, including eliminating 35% of managers who oversee teams of three people or fewer, and offering voluntary exit programs across multiple divisions since January. Finance chief Anat Ashkenazi signaled late last year that the company would continue to push cost cuts "a little further," a mandate that appears unchanged despite Alphabet reporting strong Q2 2025 results with $96.4 billion in revenue.

With today's announcement, Google is deepening our roots in the UK and helping support Great Britain's potential with AI to add £400 billion to the economy by 2030 while also enhancing critical social services. Google's investment in technical infrastructure, expanded energy capacity, and job-ready AI skills will help ensure everyone in Broxbourne and across the whole of the UK stays at the cutting-edge of global tech opportunities.

The tech giant sent a message to an email list that Hopkins and other small business owners were subscribed to. Google's request: To sign a petition opposing Assembly Bill 566, which would require browsers to provide users with a way to automatically tell websites not to share their personal information with third parties. The measure is sponsored by the California Privacy Protection Agency, which enforces state regulations on such sharing.

"With any bill that's been vetoed before, it takes some give-and-take to get it across the finish line," he said.

Google is now showing AI Mode shortcuts in the autocomplete search suggestions. As you type the main Google Search box, Google may try to jump you to AI Mode with shortcuts. We saw Google testing sending searchers to vertical search features in the autocomplete search suggestions before but Google did not have AI Mode as an option. That is until now.

Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, said in May that web publishing is not dying. Nick Fox, VP of Search at Google, said in May that the web is thriving. But in a court document filed by Google on late Friday, Google's lawyers wrote, "The fact is that today, the open web is already in rapid decline."
