The Gmail logo for Google’s email service is a horizontal “M” assembled from five color segments: a blue vertical stroke on the left, then a red diagonal stroke, a red V-shaped center, a yellow segment at the upper right, and a green vertical stroke on the right. The outer corners are rounded, while the sharp central notch resembles the opened flap of a classic paper envelope. The logo uses the same four colors as the Google logo and many of the company’s product icons; the current Gmail icon was finalized after Google Workspace’s icon set update in 2020.
Gmail is Google’s email service, launched on April 1, 2004, designed for a broad audience—from individual users to teams and organizations. It works in a browser and mobile apps, and also supports access via email clients through IMAP/POP and sending via SMTP, so it’s used both as a primary mailbox and as a “sign-in email address” within the Google ecosystem. To handle high volumes of mail, Gmail uses conversation threads, labels, and filters instead of a rigid folder structure, and search across messages and attachments remains one of its core features. For businesses, Gmail is part of Google Workspace, where companies can use custom domains and centrally manage accounts and security policies. Storage for messages and attachments depends on the Google Account’s shared quota (Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos) and can be expanded with paid Google One plans or Google Workspace subscriptions.
