Logo lockups
The Android logo combines the Android icon head and wordmark to create a unique logo lockup that is both recognizable and versatile. It can be used in both vertical and horizontal lockup variations.
Horizontal logo lockup
Depending on the different contexts and sizes, please utilize the logo lockup variations as indicated in the guidelines below.
Sizing
To guarantee the best possible legibility, do not make the wordmark smaller than 16px height or 0.15 in (0.4cm). After 40px height or 0.3 in (0.7cm), you should change the Android icon's head to the flat version.
*Flat Android icon versions may be used in special use cases, but must be approved by brand.
Color versions

The horizontal lockup is meant to be used with our primary colors: black and Android green. When appropriate, the horizontal lockup should be used.
When using a dark background, we recommend using the inverted horizontal lockup (white wordmark) to ensure visibility.

Alternate Colors
In brand partnerships where the logo needs to be placed in colors or patterns that are not part of our core brand assets, you can use the flat version of the Android icon head in any size until the minimum size allowed. *Full white monochrome can only be used when visibility issues occur.
The monochrome black version of the lockup should be used as a last resort when there are both conflicting colors and visibility issues.
