Google Gives Makeover To Android Logo & Robot With 3D Touch - Take A Look At New Pics

New Delhi: Google has announced that it is updating its Android logo and 3D bugdroid to give a modern touch in order to align with it’s the open platform’s visual and brand identity. In the constant age of growth and vision, Google believed Android’s logo new visuals draw inspired from Material design to complement the Google brand palette will reflect individual passion, personality, and context.

The new updates will start appear very soon from this year as well.

“As the world’s largest operating system, Android’s open platform serves a diverse community of developers, device makers and users. And as we’ve grown — with over 3 billion Android devices worldwide — so has our vision. We believe our brand system and how we show up visually to the world as Android should reflect Android’s core ethos of being open, iterative and inclusive,” Jason Fournier, Director, Android Consumer Brand Management said in the Google blog.  

The first version of Android was launched in 2008 by Google. Due to its adaptability and open source, it has become a great hit among developers and tech companies. Since then, the company has been updating the open source platform to keep up with growing trend and demand and ahead of the competition.  

In the new update, Google is moving away from its longstanding lowercase stylization of ‘android’ and switching to capitalizing the ‘A’ in the Android logo. Moreover, the company adds more curves and personality unique to Android so the new Android stylization more closely mirrors Google’s logo and creates balance between two.
