| Google Has Run Out of Desserts, Android Q Will Be Named Android 10 |
Google explained that they’re now done naming their releases after sweet desserts. The company revealed that they received feedback that the names weren’t always understood around the world.
“For example, L and R are not distinguishable when spoken in some languages. So when people heard Android Lollipop out loud, it wasn’t intuitively clear that it referred to the version after KitKat. It’s even harder for new Android users, who are unfamiliar with the naming convention, to understand if their phone is running the latest version.”
“We also know that pies are not a dessert in some places, and that marshmallows, while delicious, are not a popular treat in many parts of the world.”

“And while there were many tempting Q desserts out there, we think that at version 10 and 2.5 billion active devices, it was time to make this change.”

| New Branding |
Meanwhile, Google also announced that it will introduce a refresh, modern, accessible look for the brand. It now includes the Android robot in their logo, while they changed their brand color to black.
“It’s a small change, but we found the green was hard to read, especially for people with visual impairments. The logo is often paired with colors that can make it hard to see – so we came up with a new set of color combinations that improve contrast.”
