The leaked revamped homescreen.
The leak comes courtesy of Droid Life via YouTube employee, Eileen Rivera, who leaked the screenshot on her Google+ profile last weekend in a post titled, "oh hello, new Google Play store redesign" (the post has since been taken down). The image shows a cleaner looking menu screen on Google Play. The dog bowl and bone icon seen in the image is Google's internal symbol for when it is working on a product redesign (a reference to dogfooding)
Google is likely to unveil the revamped design at its I/O Developers Conference in May.
