    Needa work. Kinds reminds me of the Astroneer player characters. Get ready for corporate 3D art to be complete dogshit.

    I guess some designers needed to prove that Google needed them, or just had enough time for a vanity project.

    I love it but also if they ever get rid of the mascot I’m going to cry worse than getting rid of the desserts

      It is my understanding that the “bugdroid” was not designed to be Android’s official logo, the artist released it under a Creative Commons license, and Alphabet has adopted it as a mascot. Even if Google deprecates its use, it’s still out there.

    I‘m all for a return to a more 3D look and feel, skeuomorphism etc. But those just look… off.

      These are quite obviously separate departments from their software, It’s pointless to complain about their software in this fashion.

        Maybe pointless, but still valid. It’s not like anyone is going to notice this comment and change the direction of the company;, in that regard, they are all pointless.

      They need to improve android’s open source apps, and not neglect them in favour of their propietary stuff.

    They basically capitalized the A in Android lmao. I didn’t even know they officially uncapitalized it in 2019. Realistically the font change isn’t all that different and I don’t think many will care about that as much as us nerds do.

    Creepy-droid. It’s head and feet are facing forward and the body in between is rotating freely.

    They call the droid a bugdroid? Interesting name choice as a software bug normally isn’t a good thing.

      For some reason I always thought the Android mascot’s name was “Andy”, but I can’t remember where I had heard that from.

      I definitely like Andy over bugdroid though…

    From a design perspective, it’s awful. You don’t combine 2 similar but different fonts, with the same sizing and color, into one graphic. FFS it even has serifs AND sans serifs in the same bloody word.
