Rebranding Google Primer

When the Google Primer App was integrated into the Grow with Google ecosystem, it stood out. The illustration style was different and non-inclusive, the colour palette wasn’t on brand, Google Sans the proprietary font was nowhere to be seen, and the logo – well, it didn’t look like it could sit alongside the over 700 other product logos within Google. In Primer’s beta years, the brief was for it to not look like a Google product. But the app evolved into something bigger, and Google wanted to make it official.
