Google Play Store marks its 10th anniversary today with a logo redesign and ten times extra points in its rewards program.
Although you may have a hard time spotting the Play Store logo change, it significantly points to a more vibrant colour scheme, as you can see above. Meanwhile, the members of the platform rewards program will start enjoying ten times the usual Play Points when they make purchases from July 25.
