As time passes, it is common for companies to update their logos, and Android is no exception. Despite having undergone a refresh in 2019, Android has once again introduced a new look. The typeface remains similar to the one used in the Google logo, but with fewer edges where the curved and straight elements of a letter meet. However, the lowercase “a” has been completely replaced. The new logo now features a capitalized “A,” aligning it more closely with Google’s aesthetic and giving it a more serious appearance.
The changes don’t stop at the text. Android’s iconic green robot icons, known as “Bugdroids,” have also been updated. They have transitioned from a 2D design to a 3D design. The recognizable dome head, dots for eyes, and tiny antennae remain, but they are now slightly larger and “puffier.” The feet have been flattened out, and the body shape has changed from a rounded rectangle to a more oval shape that matches the curve of the head. These adjustments give the bugdroid a friendlier appearance, while still maintaining its adaptability with different colors and textures.
