Google has announced a subtle re-tooling of the Gmail homepage, trimming the verbal fat and giving the page a cleaner, more organized appearance. It's hard to believe, but the new version of the page is lighter by about 250 words. The update shouldn't come as a surprise, what with Google's penchant for keeping things slim.
More interesting than the facelift on Gmail.com is the updated Gmail logo. While the changes are subtle, it's worth noting that the new envelope icon in the logo first appeared in Google Chrome a few builds ago. If you had Chrome Web Apps support enabled in your browser, there's a good chance you, too, got an early peek at the updated logo's biggest change.
