Following our previous report, Google is officially unveiling a new 3D logo for Android. The broad goal of this updated branding is to “help connect Android to Google,” and it follows the previous modernization in 2019.

Hey finally a change to the boring minimalist 1 colour 2d logos every company has these days! Back to the good old days!

Logos are supposed to be easily reproducible at any size. This is a terrible idea.

Other key thing about logos is that they are suppose to look clear in black and white. Which this isn't.
Audbol@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Like the small logo and the black and white logos seen above?
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Good point, but that wasn't changed from before, right?

That one is the one they'll use when you need a B&W logo

Don't really care how the Android logo looks, I just wish Google would fix the ridiculously oversized quick toggles and unnecessary whitespace they added in Android 12.
Oh, and the nesting of mobile data/WiFi toggles under another layer.

our green lemmy icon is better, imo
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 2y
You're just saying that because you made it and it won the contest.
I don't disagree with you though.

I wonder if pseudo-3D app icons will come back.
Wodge@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y
Please no... not the skeuomorphism!
kadu@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y
I'll add metallic reflections driven by your phone's gyroscope to every one of your icons and you can't stop me muahahahaha

I thought enshittyfication was about paying more for less, not terrible logos.

But how will the new middle executive justify their promotion?

Oh wow that looks awful.

I like the old design more because it felt a bit more playful, with the lowercase a and simple droid being welcoming and not way too professional. This makes it really generic and brand-y.
Resol@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Am I the only one who actually likes the new logo?
I still prefer how it was back in 2014.

This looks like one of those random off topic images you find when searching for something.
