How to restore old Google icons ( 2021 google update )

Previously in its conference Google revealed a new design for YouTube platform, and honestly it gave a better nicer design, cleaner and streamlined as well as more tools, Google has'nt stop here ,the video chat feature was also launched via this meet, In addition it was announced the changing of the icon for the Google Workspace integrated programs previously called "Google Apps for Your Domain" ( it was first launched in 2006 ) , then "Google Apps for Work" and "G Suite" in 2016 Now it's called Google Workspace.



Just a reminder it includes popular Google web applications, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Docs .. Google provides these products freely .However, ''Google Apps for Work'' provides specific features for companies and enterprises such as allocating domain email addresses with storage space more than 30 GB that is dedicated to documents and e-mail, not to mention the customer support for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and in this matter Google says: "Our new Google Workspace brand reflects this more connected, helpful, and flexible experience, and our icons will reflect the same." 


This new step that Google began toward its services met eventually a wave of harsh criticism, users expressed their confusion to distiguish their new design apps , telling that these these modern icon forms  removes the ''traditional'' or the ''stereotypical'' unique identity of Google, as an exemple everyone got used to the red color of gmail , and the Drive service known as a mixture of green / yellow / blue ... etc., Maybe the new design continues keeping the basic shape of the previous icons, but in uniform colors,  red, blue, green and yellow, which makes the applications and Services look like one piece, in this matter , if you are color blind or even just used to prior colors on old icons, your new Google Workspace experience is likely to become more difficult sadly .

Because of this issue, and as usually from creative people a new method has been circulated to restore the old shape by installing one of the extensions to Google Chrome, to be noted that the extension does not change the design of the icons in the application pages when they are used, and Postinghel the extension creator said in the support page of the Chrome Web Store, that he is trying to roll out a new update to be supportted in Mozilla Firefox browser, followed eventually by Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge .

Here is the ''Restore old Google icons'' download link.
