The Google Maps pin is the inverted-drop-shaped icon that marks locations in Google Maps. The pin is protected under a U.S. design patent as "teardrop-shaped marker icon including a shadow". Google has used the pin in various graphics, games, and promotional materials. The pin, sometimes referred to as "the marker", has been widely co-opted by other companies, organizations, and individuals for their own marketing efforts, artwork, and activism. In both digital and physical representations, the pin is often used to symbolize mapping software and the technology industry as a whole.

  • The Google Maps pin is the inverted-drop-shaped icon that marks locations in Google Maps. The pin is protected under a U.S. design patent as "teardrop-shaped marker icon including a shadow". Google has used the pin in various graphics, games, and promotional materials. The pin, sometimes referred to as "the marker", has been widely co-opted by other companies, organizations, and individuals for their own marketing efforts, artwork, and activism. In both digital and physical representations, the pin is often used to symbolize mapping software and the technology industry as a whole. The Google Maps pin has been called "a product of pure function that has evolved into a cultural phenomenon" and "a solution that would take on a life of its own, recognizable enough to stick up for itself in the art and design projects of others". "Looking like a hot air balloon in flight, this marker has landed squarely in the middle of our visual culture". In 2014, the Museum of Modern Art acquired a physical representation of the Google Maps pin for its permanent collection. In 2020, the pin icon became the official logo of Google Maps. (en)
  • La punaise de Google Maps est une icône en forme de goutte à l’envers qui marque les emplacements dans Google Maps. L’icône est protégée par un américain en tant qu’« icône ombrée en forme de larme ». Google a réutilisé cette punaise sur différentes images et jeux, ainsi que sur du matériel promotionnel. La punaise, parfois appelé « le marqueur », a été largement réutilisée par d'autres entreprises, organisations et particuliers, pour leurs actions artistiques, illustrer leur revendications ou faire leur propre promotion commerciale. Sa reproduction physique ou numérique est souvent utilisée comme symbole d’un logiciel cartographique ou des technologies de l’information et de la communication dans leur ensemble. La punaise Google Maps a été qualifiée de « produit purement fonctionnel devenu phénomène culturel » et de « réponse à un problème technique qui aurait acquis une vie propre, se révélant suffisamment identifiable pour pénétrer l’art et le stylisme d’autres projets ». « Semblable à une montgolfière en vol, cette icône a conquis notre culture visuelle ». En 2014, le MoMA a acquis une représentation plastique de la punaise Google Maps pour sa collection permanente. (fr)
