Hey finally a change to the boring minimalist 1 colour 2d logos every company has these days! Back to the good old days!

You’re just saying that because you made it and it won the contest.

I don’t disagree with you though.

I thought enshittyfication was about paying more for less, not terrible logos.

Am I the only one who actually likes the new logo?

I still prefer how it was back in 2014.

This looks like one of those random off topic images you find when searching for something.

Don’t really care how the Android logo looks, I just wish Google would fix the ridiculously oversized quick toggles and unnecessary whitespace they added in Android 12.

Oh, and the nesting of mobile data/WiFi toggles under another layer.

When will companies learn that taking a 2D thing and making it 3D does not make it better?

I like the old design more because it felt a bit more playful, with the lowercase a and simple droid being welcoming and not way too professional. This makes it really generic and brand-y.

Logos are supposed to be easily reproducible at any size. This is a terrible idea.

Other key thing about logos is that they are suppose to look clear in black and white. Which this isn’t.
