Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Sites getting Material Design on the web
August 01, 2025
In 2018, Google committed to delivering itsMaterial Designelements to literally everything it does. We saw overhauls of Android apps likeGoogle Photos(and, shortly after, its web counterpart),Gmail,Google Drive, and more.
Usually, when G Suite users get an upgrade, it’s only a matter of time before general users see the upgrades for themselves. As such, you may expect some Material Design goodness to land on your Google web apps soon enough.
Google gave us a little taste of what the refresh will look like. Unlike withthe total overhaul of Gmail, it doesn’t look like too much will be different with the updates to Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Sites:
There are some subtle differences there, such as the switch to a new font, the rounding of corners, and the switch from a blue icon to a yellow icon to match the yellow branding of Google Slides. Overall though, it should look pretty familiar to most.
With this news, we can only assume everything Google has will be “Materialized” by the end of the year.
