About Google Maps Icon 2020

A teardrop-shaped map pin (location marker) with a circular hole cut out at the center. The pin is divided into four colored diagonal bands that meet near the top of the hole and flow down into the pin’s pointed tail.

The four bands use Google’s signature palette: a blue band across the top-right, a darker blue triangle at the top-left, a red band on the left, a yellow band below the red, and a large green band forming the lower-right and tail. The design is flat, geometric and minimalist with crisp, straight separations between colors.
