Google gives the Android robot logo a makeover

Despite the high aspirational value of the iPhone, Android smartphones dominate the market. According to Google, there are over 3 billion Android devices worldwide. The Android logo has evolved over the years and now Google is giving a complete makeover. Jason Fournier, director, Android Consumer Brand Management, in a blog post, said “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.”

The last big change in the Android logo was in 2019, which was also the year the naming convention changed. Google used to give new Android versions names after desserts (Marshmallow, Oreo, Nougat).
