Google Seems to Introduce New Android Logo with New Wordmark, 3D Robot Head

 Google is developing a new brand identity for Android after four years. A new wordmark and a 3D rendition of the recognisable robot head will be part of the new Android logo.

After years of Android picking something that is entirely lowercase, the new wordmark starts with the letter "A" in uppercase. The 'n' and 'r' in the new wordmark are precisely rounded thanks to the new typeface, which also blends the wordmarks from 2008 and 2014.

How New Logo will look?

The new Android logo no longer features a flat robot head; Google, on the other hand, chose a 3D Android head. Google has made modifications to the Android logo in the past. The logo has been changed two times previously.

In 2014, Google changed the font of the wordmark and made minor changes to the logo. In 2019, Google kept only the head of the Android robot from the wordmark and removed the Android robot's entire body from the logo.

The 3D heads were first noticed by 9to5 Google at CES 2023. Even though Google used a variety of materials to create a number of expressive versions, it was still displayed next to the lowercase "android." For instance, when discussing Android Auto, a tire was used. At Google I/O 2023, the new logo was spotted once more.

An advertisement for Android discussing first-party apps on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Flip 4 was the first place 9to5Google saw this updated wordmark and head. 9to5Google was informed by Google that they have confirmed the "new brand identity" and will provide additional information regarding it in the future.

“We are showcasing some elements of our new brand identity on a variety of surfaces, such as our CES booth from earlier this year and additional campaign materials, such as digital and banner ads. In a statement provided to 9to5Google, Google stated, "We'll have more to share in the coming months."

According to 9to5Google, the new logo will probably appear on the boot screen of all Android devices. At the moment, the brand is referred to as "Powered by Android."

Android 14 Beta 3's Google Clock App

In the meantime, users of the Google Clock app can now simply slide the notification away to stop alarms. When the alarm goes off while the screen is on, a tip on the notification says to "Swipe to stop." It's like turning off the alarm; one slide and the caution will quit sounding.

This modification is the result of a brand-new Android 14 feature that enables users to swipe away notifications even when those notifications are typically persistent or unremovable. Even if the app's developer made it a foreground notification, sliding an individual notification now stops it, so the "Clear all" button will not remove them from the notification shade or the lock screen.
