The Android leave the carbs and say goodbye to sugar. The latest update to the brand name, unveiled today by Google, brings a new logo and swaps out the confections for numbers.
So let's talk about the logo. The old "bugdroid" robot had a small surgery and now shows only the head, and not the whole body as you can see below:
Similarly, the word Android uses a slightly more subtle font. As with the previous two logo changes, each letter is lowercase.
Basically, the new Android wordmark will always be attached to the new logo and will never appear alone. At least, not in an official context.
If you're curious about what changed, Andrew Martonik at Android Central has made an incredible deep dive into the new rebrand. It's worth reading, if you're a designer, who considers every small change to be huge and very important.
But let's go to the upcoming Android nomenclature. Starting with Android 10, Google will stop using the names of cookies it has been using for so long.
Although confectionery names are important and are not as easily forgotten as version numbers, (4.4, 7.1 etc) there are obviously fewer names that have cross-cultural recognition for a globally recognized product such as Android.
Unfortunately, nothing replaces these names. So Google announced that the next version of Android (code-named Android Q) would be simply known as Android 10.
Those who don't agree with the change, Google plans to keep the Android statues present at the entrance of the “Googleplex”, as reported by David Ruddock of Android Police.
