Google may focus much of its attention on smartphones, but it knows that featurephone owners deserve a good online experience as well. Accordingly, it just launched a revamped Gmail web app for devices where modern browsers and touchscreens aren’t guaranteed.

What this means is that Google’s current logo will still be sticking around, at least for now, but what do you guys think? Do you prefer the flatter design?
