Brand Guidelines

The "Android" name, the Android logo, the "Google Play" brand, and other trademarks are property of Google LLC and not part of the assets available through the Android Open Source Project.

If you are interested in using these brands to indicate their association with your device, adhere to the guidelines on this page. These guidelines correspond to and complement the Brand Guidelines for Android App Developers and Google Brand Permissions.

Android

Here are manufacturer 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.
  • The use of “Android” on hardware, packaging or marketing materials of device is restricted to Android-compatible devices only.
  • “Android” should never be used in the name of your product or as the primary or dominant mark on your packaging or device.
  • "Android” should be used only as a term to refer to the operating system (OS) of your device. If you are unsure whether your use meets our guidelines, follow this simple test: If you can replace "Android" with "the Android platform" and the text still makes sense, then you may use this term.
    • Incorrect: "Android XBrand Phone"
    • Correct: "XBrand phone on Android"
  • You may use “with Android” in plain black text with your logo. If used with your logo, "with Android" should be no larger than 90% of your logo’s size. First or most prominent instance of this use should be followed by a ™ symbol.
  • Android may be used only as a descriptor, as long as it is followed by a proper generic term. It cannot be framed as the product name or brand of your device.
    • Incorrect: "Android XBrand Phone"
    • Correct: "Android mobile device"

    Any use of the Android name must include this attribution in your communication:

    Android is a trademark of Google LLC.
