Android
The following are guidelines for the Android brand and related assets.
Android in text
- Android™ should have a trademark symbol the first time it appears in a creative.
- Android should always be capitalized and is never plural or possessive.
- "Android" cannot be used in names of applications or accessory products,
including phones, tablets, TVs, speakers, headphones, watches, and other devices. Instead use "for Android".
- Incorrect: "Android MediaPlayer"
- Correct: "MediaPlayer for Android"
If used with your logo, "for Android" should be no larger than 90% of your logo’s size. First instance of this use should be followed by a TM symbol, "for Android™".
- "Android TV", "Android Wear" and "Android Auto" may only be used to identify or market
products or services with prior approval. Use "for Android" or "with Android" for all
other Android-based products
- Incorrect: "Android TV Streaming Stick", "Streaming Stick with Android TV"
- Correct: "Streaming Stick with Android"
If used with your logo, "for Android" or "with Android" should be no larger than 90% of your logo’s size. First instance of this use should be followed by a TM symbol, "for Android™".
- Android may be used as a descriptor, as long as it is followed by a
proper generic term. (Think of "Android" as a term used in place of
"the Android platform.")
- Incorrect: "Android MediaPlayer" or "Android XYZ app"
- Correct: "Android features" or "Android applications"
Any use of the Android name needs to include this attribution in your communication:
Android is a trademark of Google Inc.

The following are guidelines for the Google Play brand.
Google Play™ Badges
Use the "Get it on Google Play" and "Android App on Google Play" badges on your website and promotional materials to point to your products on Google Play. These badges are both available in over 40 languages. Additional Google Play badge formats and badges for music, books, magazines, movies, and TV shows are also available. Use the Android and Google Play Brand Permissions Inquiry form to request those badges.
Google Play badge guidelines:
- Don't modify the color, proportions, spacing, or any other aspect of the badge.
- When used alongside logos for other application marketplaces, the Google Play badge should be of equal or greater size.
- When used online, the badge should link to either:
- A list of products published by you, for example:
http://play.google.com/store/search?q=publisherName - A specific app product details page within Google Play, for example:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=packageName - You do not need to include a legal attribution if you are only using a Google Play badge. However, keep in mind that:
- If you make any mention of Google Play or Android outside of the badge a legal attribution must be included.
- If you are including another app store’s legal attribution then include this legal attribution:
- Google Play is a trademark of Google Inc.
- Use of the Google Play badge does not need to be reviewed or approved by the Google Play brand team unless the marketing campaign will have over 1 million impressions.
- Incorrect: Our app is now available from Google Play.
- Correct: Our app is now available on Google Play.
- Incorrect: Download our games using the Google Play™ store app.
- Correct: This is how you download our app using the Google Play™ store app.
To quickly create a badge that links to your apps on Google Play, use the Google Play badge generator (badges available in over 40 languages).
