| <p>We encourage you to use the Android brand with your Android app |
| promotional materials. You can use the icons and other assets on this page |
| provided that you follow the guidelines.</p> |
| |
| <p>Use of the Android or Google Play brands must be reviewed by the Android |
| Partner Marketing team. Use the <a |
| href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/brand_developer">Android and Google Play Brand Permissions Inquiry form</a> to submit your |
| marketing for review.</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"> |

| <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" cannot be used in names of applications or accessory products, |
| including phones, tablets, TVs, speakers, headphones, watches, and other devices. 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" 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™".</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>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.") |
| <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> |

| |
| <p>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 <a |
| href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/brand_developer">Android |
| and Google Play Brand Permissions Inquiry form</a> to request |
| those badges.</p> |
| |
| <p>Google Play badge guidelines:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Don't modify the color, proportions, spacing, or any other aspect of the badge.</li> |
| <li>When used alongside logos for other application marketplaces, the Google Play badge |
| should be of equal or greater size.</li> |
| <li>When used online, the badge should link to either:</li> |
| <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>You do not need to include a legal attribution if you are only using a Google Play badge. |
| However, keep in mind that:</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>If you make any mention of Google Play or Android outside of the badge a legal attribution |
| must be included. </li> |
| <li>If you are including another app store’s legal attribution then include this legal |
| attribution:</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Google Play is a trademark of Google Inc.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>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.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>To quickly create a badge that links to your apps on Google Play, |
| use the <a |
