The massive concrete Google ‘G’ statue outside our Bay View office recently got a fresh new look to match our brighter, bolder AI-era logo.
This wasn't an easy feat, as you can't just slap paint on a 15-foot-tall concrete giant. To pull this off, the team had to engineer and plan for materials that are both flexible and resilient, dodge unpredictable weather windows, and bring in a specialist to hand-blend the gradient across a massive surface. The coolest part? It's now the only 'G' statue in the entire company painted entirely by hand, giving it a little extra human character making it our “Super G”.
Check out the new look and meet some of the Googlers who are already loving the upgraded backdrop!

It’s an incredible feeling when the product you build every day helps millions of people look back on their favorite memories. Google Photos Software Engineer Iris Uy says:
"One of the things I love most about working on Google Photos is knowing that what we build is genuinely useful to people."
Since starting as an intern, Iris has expanded her engineering skills by moving across teams like Chrome, Maps, and Photos. Google's internal mobility culture means you can keep learning and tackling global scale without ever starting over at a new company.
By standardizing processes, she aligned a globe-spanning team to streamline supply chain timelines. Her biggest advice for career growth? Ask questions and embrace the discomfort of learning.
