On the eve of the consumer release of Android 5.0 "Lollipop," we're seeing Google's few remaining KitKat-esque apps undergo a Material Design transformation. The beautiful new Gmail, complete with support for exchange, finally began rolling out this week. Now we're seeing leaks of the new Google Calendar, and it includes what looks to be the most comprehensive redesign yet. It contains many colorful new illustrations of landscapes in the style first seen in Google Now -- flat, playful, and scattered with cheerful details. Below are just a few from the large album posted on Google Plus by Steve Albright of Neverstill Media.
There's a whole lot of artwork like this within. Google seems to have designed several different illustrations for each season.
At this point, most of the apps have been brought up to speed in time for tomorrow's release. There are still a few remaining outliers, though, such as Hangouts and YouTube. Others still, like the Play Store, have been receiving more incremental updates rather than sudden and dramatic makeovers. At any rate, tomorrow's going to be a big day in the Android world.
