The Gmail logo, used for Google’s email service, is designed as a large letter “M” that also retains the shape of an envelope. The current mark is built from three wide rounded elements layered on top of each other: a red vertical element on the left, a central V-shaped element with a gradient from pink and red to orange and yellow, and a vertical element on the right with a gradient from green to blue. Before this, in 2020, Gmail adopted a flat four-color icon in the Google Workspace style, and in spring 2026 the mark was updated to a gradient version. The name Gmail is connected to Google Mail: the letter G refers to Google, while the word mail refers to email.
Gmail is an email service from the American company Google, launched on April 1, 2004. It works in browsers and mobile apps, supports multiple accounts, search across emails and attachments, conversation threads, labels, filters, and integration with other Google products. For personal users, Gmail is part of the Google Account ecosystem, where emails and attachments use shared storage together with Google Drive and Google Photos. For organizations, Gmail is available as part of Google Workspace: companies can connect email on their own domain, manage employee accounts, apply security settings, and use Google’s work tools in one environment.
