New Android logo

Can we make up our minds, please?
In the 90s-2000s we had these shaded, almost 3D icons everywhere. Then we transitioned to a flat, minimalist style.
Give us something new and exciting instead of capitalizing on "retro nostalgia"

I think I actually prefer the simplicity of the old one. In general, I find logos with too many textures a little distracting or "noisy"

The new one looks like a serious downgrade, imo

As a longtime android user, thank God they're finally listening and focusing on the most important problems!!!

Is this serious?? Or is this a meme??

This leads me to think that Google is planning on an AR/VR product like the Vision Pro and so they want to make 3D icons and UI elements more prominent (to make the transition easier, the same reason we had 3D icons at the start of computers and smartphones as well), kind of like what Apple did in the last 2-3 years with their new Icons (like on MacOS, they added back a lot of depth with Big Sur)

Not really into the 3d aesthetic sorry, still too 2010ish for me

Are we going back to older, more detailed logos?

I might be in the minority, but ignoring the actual design, I'm hopeful that the trend of flat design is coming to an end. Wasn't really a big fan of that.

Giving up on Material already? But we are only half way through the You upgrade.

I get the feeling Google aren't very joined up

I don't know how I feel about the move from a flat logo back to the old shaded, gradient 3D look, but I am definitely a fan of the font!

What is old is new again.

I prefer the flat looking one. Never liked skeumorphism icons.

Here, use this instead.

I kinda like it, and hope we see more of this. Maybe skeuomorphism is not the best idea for UI elements these days, but for things like icons it makes perfect sense.

Many apps in iOS still use beautifully detailed icons which make for eyecandy without sacrificing functionality.

Hopefully this is a sign that the boring flat designs are on their way out.

We are back to 3D logos? nice

I love it! Its cute.

Are we really going for a revival of 00s skeuomorphism? 💀

Change for change's sake. Fucking typical of Google, a terminally mismanaged corp if I ever saw one.

I'm a fan, especially the eyes got more personality to it

The new logo looks pretty good, the color in this particular picture looks off though.

💀💀💀

Is this official? Not sure about this.

Did we have to put it on the face of the community? 😄
