In a surprising move, Google has quietly introduced an impressive 3D version of the iconic Bugdroid robot head, refreshing the renowned Android logo.
This revamp also introduces a new typography for the Android wordmark, featuring a new font and a capital ‘A’ at the beginning instead of lowercase. This significant change comes after four years of the previous Bugdroid logo update, which transformed it into just the head with protruding antennas.
The alterations were initially noticed in an Android ad highlighting Google apps on the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Confirming these modifications to 9to5Google, Google assured a more comprehensive announcement shortly. The company stated, “We’re showcasing elements of our new brand identity across different platforms, including our CES booth and other campaign materials like digital and banner ads. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.”
What is the new font used in the Android wordmark? When exactly will the official announcement be made? Will the updated logo be immediately implemented on all Android devices?

Google has not disclosed the details of the new font used in the Android wordmark. As for the exact timing of the official announcement, Google has indicated that they will provide more information in the coming months. Regarding implementing the updated logo on all Android devices, it is still being determined if it will be immediately rolled out or if there will be a gradual transition. Further updates and announcements from Google are expected to shed light on these aspects.
Once Google makes the official announcement, the updated logo will appear ubiquitously. It will grace various Android websites, television and internet ads, and signage and artwork at esteemed trade shows such as CES and MWC. Moreover, it’s highly likely to be featured on the boot screens of all Android devices. While the implementation timeline remains uncertain, speculations from the 9to5Google report suggest a possible unveiling alongside the launch of Android 14 later this year.
Although the new visual identity may seem relatively minor, it is another exciting addition Android 14 brings. Notably, this change does not compare to the monumental 2019 transformation when Bugdroid bid farewell to its body. In 2014, Google revamped the original Android logo by adjusting the Bugdroid robot’s green colour and introducing a fresh font for the Android wordmark.

The future is brimming with innovation, and this latest logo and wordmark update exemplifies Google’s dedication to pushing boundaries. Android enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate experiencing this refreshing change across their favourite devices. Let’s embrace the forthcoming Android 14 and its captivating new look!
