Google Unveiled A New Android Logo
Google has released a package of updates to its mobile apps and services, including a universal Top of Mind widget, improved Lookout app algorithms, new Android Auto video client features, and more. In addition, the logo of the Android OS itself has undergone some changes.
The design of the At a Glance widget has been updated, a feature based on artificial intelligence algorithms. Now the widget offers a wider range of useful and up-to-date information about events, stages of travel and weather. The operation of the Google Wallet application has been optimized: loading of cards with barcodes and QR codes has been simplified, the function of importing photos has been added.
The Lookout app, which offers textual descriptions of photos for visually impaired people, now describes images more fully and accurately, as well as answers additional questions. Android Auto introduces the ability to connect to Zoom and Webex video sessions, although only audio is supported.
The Android logo looks a bit different now. The image of the robot was given back the volume and offered several coloring options depending on the context – there is even a fur version. The corporate style of the system name is now made in the same font as the Google logo itself, and the word “Android” is capitalized.
