Waze, owned by Google, has been one of the most popular mapping services and is currently being redesigned. Waze is receiving an updated logo for 2020 that arrives as part of a larger design update for the platform.
In a blog post, Waze reveals his new brand design which, for the most part, only slightly changes from what was previously available. What Has Changed With the logo itself, Waze will be looking for a slightly friendlier and “happier” design in 2020 with this new logo. The overall look is still incredibly familiar, but the wheels, for example, have been tweaked to appear to be on either side of the character, rather than just one.
When you look at the new logo versus the old one, it quickly becomes apparent how much the new one improves. Even the text seems to fit better on a modern smartphone in 2020. The updated branding, as seen below, will also appear in the WazeCarpool app, of course in the Android and iOS versions of both apps.
Also, the new Waze logo can be a little more expressive within the app. “Moods” have 30 different feelings that drivers may want to express while on the road, and each has a new design to match the updated logo.
The redesign also extends to the application as a whole. You’ll notice that colors are much brighter and bolder with this latest design, with icons appearing especially thanks to thicker black edges. The icons look a bit like a cartoon now, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all.
It is unclear when the Waze apps for Android and iOS will reflect these changes.
