Google launched Gmail way back in 2004, and since then, it has become one of Google’s most important and popular products other than search. But all the while, it has continued to bear the “Beta” tag, and finally after 5 years, Gmail moves out of beta stage. Also does Google Docs, Calendar and Google Talk have been moved out of beta!!!

Google explains about the beta move on their official Google blog as:

“We’re often asked why so many Google applications seem to be perpetually in beta. For example, Gmail has worn the beta tag more than five years. We realize this situation puzzles some people, particularly those who subscribe to the traditional definition of “beta” software as not being yet ready for prime time …… Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs (Google Docs) and Google Talk — both enterprise and consumer versions — are now out of beta. “Beta” will be removed from the product logos today, but we’ll continue to innovate and improve upon the applications whether or not there’s a small “beta” beneath the logo.”

However, if you’d like to keep the “Beta” tag on your Gmail, you can now enable a “Back to Beta” option in Google Labs….. sweet eh? .

Google announces the future of Google Logos would be uniform for all Google products. Google Code, Google Labs and Google Moderator already changed the logo, in a few weeks Google Docs, Google Maps, Google News and a few others will surely follow this new style of logos.

Here are some localized logos for Google Maps, Google News and Google Docs.

Google comes up with a consistent design pattern for its logos! In the new design of Google logos, all the logos would have blue lowercase Product Name, which actually looks pretty cool
