About GMail by Google

A multicolour wordmark reading “Gmail” where the capital letter G is a large blue character, the letters "a" and "i" are yellow and green respectively, and the letter "m" is replaced by a small red square containing a white envelope-shaped M (an envelope icon that forms the M). The i has a separate blue dot above a green stem, creating a four-colour sequence (blue, red, yellow, green) across the wordmark.

Below and to the left of the wordmark is the small grey text "by Google" and to the right of that area is the word "BETA" in grey uppercase. Overall the design is flat, colorful and compact, combining a pictorial envelope symbol with a playful multicolour wordmark consistent with Google's visual language of the period.

What's in it: envelope (forms the letter M)

Shapes: wordmark square (red) envelope (within square) dot

Style: multicolour flat playful early-2000s web

Text in logo: Gmail by Google BETA

The red envelope icon clearly represents email/mail; the multicolour letters tie the mark to Google's broader brand palette.
