About Google Plus Red

A flat red rounded-square app icon containing a large white, lowercase serif 'g' cropped at the left and bottom edges. To the right of the 'g' is a white plus sign (+) centered vertically, both elements set on a solid red field.

The composition is two-colour and high-contrast: the white letterform and symbol sit cleanly against the saturated red background. Corners of the square are noticeably rounded, giving an app-icon appearance.

What's in it: lowercase letter g plus sign

Shapes: rounded square lowercase letterform plus sign

Style: flat minimalist icon high-contrast

Text in logo: g+

The lowercase 'g' combined with a plus sign visually indicates a 'g plus' or an addition/expansion concept; typical of a social-network app icon.
