Hello Google Analytics users,

On July 1, 2024, Google Analytics 4 properties will have fully replaced Universal Analytics properties, as previously announced. From that date, Google will begin turning off all Universal Analytics services and Universal Analytics APIs, which means Universal Analytics properties will be inaccessible through the Google Analytics front-end and APIs. If you haven’t completely migrated to Google Analytics 4 properties, follow the migration guide to start making the switch today.

Exporting your data
To maintain access to data from your Universal Analytics property, you should download or export your data now. If this isn’t done through one of the methods provided in the Google Analytics Help Center, your data will be permanently deleted by Google and won’t be recoverable. If you intend to use the BigQuery integration to export historical data from your Universal Analytics 360 property, we strongly recommend initiating this immediately.

Product integrations
Universal Analytics data and settings accessed or used through advertiser, publisher or other product integrations will be unavailable when services have stopped. For example:

-Universal Analytics goals and ecommerce transactions will stop measuring new conversions, including within linked advertising accounts. This may affect ad campaign performance if those conversions are used in combination with Smart Bidding.

-Universal Analytics audience lists will be closed, which may affect ad campaign media activation and performance.

-API requests related to Universal Analytics properties will fail, including requests for deletion of Universal Analytics data through the User Deletion API. This also means that tools relying on an API, such as Looker Studio, will not show any Universal Analytics data.

-BigQuery export and backfill of historical data from Universal Analytics 360 properties can only be requested up to and including June 30, 2024. Already exported data remains available in BigQuery.

-Attribution Projects that were part of Attribution (beta) in Google Analytics will be deleted.

Good Luck!

We all know the major brands of our time and what they do for us. Whether it’s basic needs like food, travel, transportation, services or products, we love how they interact with our lives; but what if common brands followed suit during the development of their identity? The “Logo Satire” series was developed for just that–to show how we feel about a brand’s products and services when they’re designed to address how we actually use them.

Nokia revealed its new brand identity on Sunday, February 26, 2023 at MWC — the first major redesign of the firm’s logo in nearly 60 years. The company has come a long way since its founding as a single paper mill operation in 1865. Its original logo featured a salmon head — a reference to the B river by which the mill was established and which gave the company its name.

Finnish telecoms firm Nokia has redesigned its logo to remind the world that it doesn’t make mobile phones anymore.

“In most people’s minds, we are still a successful mobile phone brand, but this is not what Nokia is about,” Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark told Bloomberg. “We want to launch a new brand that is focusing very much on the networks and industrial digitalization, which is a completely different thing from the legacy mobile phones.”

What do you think about Nokia's new logo?

We didn’t design it; another firm did.
