The new Google logo stands out more. The latest version of the Google Maps app for Android replaced the gray Google logo from the bottom left corner with a bigger logo that's now colorful.

This screenshot is from the latest version of the Google Maps app. The new logo doesn't blend in with the map and it's more distracting.

    Unnecessarily obvious logo on the map. Rather than simple taking credit for the map, it's like they're saying "look at me!"

    Really not a fan of this branding. The old way was better, this is prioritizing your branding over the data.
