To be specific, the search engine logo disappears for a moment.
Thanks for the correction i have edited the issue.
Note that I was able to reproduce this issue to on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Android 8.1.0) but somehow the text displayed over the search bar was more highlighted see the Video.
This is likely far more noticeable on devices that have animations disabled, as we usually do a nice cross fade here
The exact transition frame where it's gone:

Since we've redesigned the homescreen a bit is this still as noticeable/an issue to you all? I believe the issue is when we switch themes, we recreate and have to load the search icon. We could possibly cache it or have a placeholder so that it is less noticeable?
Unfortunately this is still happening and noticeable IMO.
I am not seeing this anymore after the new search experience design
