| |
| |
| <p>We encourage you to use the Android and Google Play brands with your Android app |
| promotional materials. You can use the icons and other assets on this page |
| provided that you follow the guidelines described below.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="brand-android">Android</h2> |
| |
| <p>The following are guidelines for the Android brand |
| and related assets.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h4 style="clear:right">Android in text</h4> |
| |
| <div style="float:right;clear:right;width:200px;margin:0 0 20px 30px"> |
| <img alt="" src="{@docRoot}images/brand/mediaplayer.png"> |
| </div> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Android™ should have a trademark symbol the first time it appears in a creative.</li> |
| <li>Android should always be capitalized and is never plural or possessive.</li> |
| <li>"Android" by itself cannot be used in the name of an application name or accessory product. |
| Instead use "for Android." |
| <ul> |
| <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android MediaPlayer"</li> |
| <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "MediaPlayer for Android"</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>If used with your logo, "for Android" needs to be smaller in size than your logo. |
| First instance of this use should be followed by a TM symbol, "for Android™".</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Android may be used as a descriptor, as long as it is followed by a proper generic term. |
| <ul> |
| <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android MediaPlayer" or "Android XYZ app"</li> |
| <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "Android features" or "Android applications"</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Any use of the Android name needs to include this |
| attribution in your communication:</p> |
| <blockquote><em>Android is a trademark of Google Inc.</em></blockquote></p> |
| |

| <h4>Android robot</h4> |
| |
| <div style="float:right;width:200px;margin-left:30px"> |
| <img alt="" src="{@docRoot}images/brand/Android_Robot_100.png" |
| style="margin-left:50px"> |
| <p style="text-align:center"> |
| <a href="{@docRoot}images/brand/Android_Robot_100.png">100x118</a> | |

| <a href="{@docRoot}downloads/brand/Android_Robot_outlined.ai">Illustrator (.ai)</a></p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>The Android robot can be used, reproduced, and modified freely in marketing |
| communications. The color value for print is PMS 376C and the online hex |
| color is <span style="color:#A4C639">#A4C639</span>.</p> |
| |
| <p>When using the Android Robot or any modification of it, proper attribution is |
| required under the terms of the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">Creative |
| Commons Attribution</a> license:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote><em>The Android robot is reproduced or modified from work created and shared by Google and |
| used according to terms described in the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution License.</em></blockquote> |
| |
| <p>You may not file trademark applications incorporating the Android robot logo or |
| derivatives thereof. We want to ensure that the Android robot remains available |
| for all to use.</p> |

| <h4 style="clear:right">Android logo</h4> |
| |
| <div style="float:right;width:210px;margin-left:30px;margin-top:-10px"> |
| <img alt="" src="{@docRoot}images/brand/android_logo_no.png"> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>The Android logo may not be used. Nor can this be used with the Android robot.</p> |
| <p>The custom typeface may not be used.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="brand-google_play">Google Play</h2> |
| |
| |
| <p>The following are guidelines for the Google Play brand |
| and related assets.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Google Play in text</h4> |
| |
| <p>Always include a TM symbol on the first or most prominent instance of Google Play™ |
| in text.</p> |
| |
| <p>When referring to the mobile experience, use "Google Play" unless the text is clearly |
| instructional for the user. For example, a marketing headline might read "Download our |
| games on Google Play™," but instructional text would read "Download our games using the Google |
| Play™ Store app." |
| |
| <p>Any use of the Google Play name or icon needs to include this |
| attribution in your communication:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote><em>Google Play is a trademark of Google Inc.</em></blockquote> |
| |
| |
| <div style="float:right;width:96px;margin-left:30px;margin-top:-20px"> |
| <img src="{@docRoot}images/brand/Google_Play_Store_96.png" alt=""> |

| <a href="{@docRoot}downloads/brand/Google_Play_Store.ai">Illustrator (.ai)</a> |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <h4>Google Play Store icon</h4> |
| |
| <p>You may use the Google Play Store icon, but you may not modify it.</p> |
| |
| <p>As mentioned above, when referring to the Google Play Store app in copy, use the full name: |
| "Google Play Store." However, when labelling the Google Play Store icon directly, it's OK to use |
| "Play Store" without "Google" (which is how the icon is labelled on a device).</p> |
| |
| |
| <h4>Google Play badge</h4> |
| |
| <div style="float:right;clear:right;width:172px;margin-left:30px"> |

| </div> |
| |
| <p>The "Get it on Google Play" and "Android App on Google Play" logos are badges that you |
| can use on your web site and promotional materials, to point to your products on Google |
| Play.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Do not modify the color, proportions, spacing or any other aspect of the badge image. |
| </li> |
| <li>When used alongside logos for other application marketplaces, the Google Play logo |
| should be of equal or greater size.</li> |
| <li>When used online, the badge should link to either: |
| <ul> |
| <li>A list of products published by you, for example:<br /> |
| <span style="margin-left:1em;">http://play.google.com/store/search?q=<em>publisherName</em></span> |
| </li> |
| <li>A specific app product details page within Google Play, for example:<br /> |
| <span style="margin-left:1em;">http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<em>packageName</em></span> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
