In a way, the Google Play Store is the most important Android app and the platform that makes Android what it is. The Google Play Store is now celebrating its tenth birthday and is finally getting a new logo that now goes much better with all other Google products. To celebrate the day, you also donate tenfold Google Play Points.
Android and the Google Play Store are tightly interwoven, but the Play Store is much younger than the operating system. That’s because the App Store was still known as the “Android Market” back then and only housed applications and games.
Then in the summer of 2012 came the restart of “Google Play”, which included other media such as music, films and books in addition to apps and games. Some of them have since been dismissed or changed significantly, but the media store concept has basically remained true.
For the 10th birthday, there is a new logo, which clearly differs from the old version in terms of color. Above you can see the old logo, which I’m sure you’re very familiar with, and on the rest of the images in this article, the new logo. Not that much has changed in terms of shape and color distribution because the main change is that you now rely on the four color tones that can also be found in almost all other Google apps.
As usual, this takes some getting used to and at first glance, you might choose the old logo, but from my point of view, the new version is very successful. In a direct comparison, the old one suddenly looks a bit pale, the colors are boring and are not at all related to the rest of the Google universe. If you want to celebrate with Google, you can do that: From now on there are ten times the points at Google Play Points.
