Cubes
Weighted Storage Cube
The Weighted Storage Cube was introduced in Portal and remains prevalent in Portal 2. In Portal 2, the blue ring turns yellow when placed upon a Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button.

Edgeless Safety Cube
The Edgeless Safety Cube was introduced in Portal 2 and is used only in co-op gameplay. It only appears once in singleplayer as garbage. The "cube" is really a sphere; however, it still retains the coloring scheme and patterns present in the designs of the other cubes.
Discouragement Redirection Cube
The Discouragement Redirection Cube was introduced in Portal 2. It's main purpose is to redirect the Thermal Discouragement Beam (a deadly and harmful laser) to other directions and through portals if necessary.
