     13 <p>We encourage you to use the Android and Google Play brands with your Android app

     19  <p>The following are guidelines for the Android brand
     20  and related assets.</p>
     21  
     22 
     23   <h4 style="clear:right">Android in text</h4>
     24     
     25   <div style="float:right;clear:right;width:200px;margin:0 0 20px 30px">
     26     <img alt="" src="{@docRoot}images/brand/mediaplayer.png">
     27   </div>
     28     <ul>
     29     <li>Android&trade; should have a trademark symbol the first time it appears in a creative.</li>
     30     <li>Android should always be capitalized and is never plural or possessive.</li>
     31     <li>"Android" by itself cannot be used in the name of an application name or accessory product.
     32 Instead use "for Android."
     33       <ul>
     34         <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android MediaPlayer"</li>
     35         <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "MediaPlayer for Android"</li>
     36       </ul>
     37       <p>If used with your logo, "for Android" needs to be smaller in size than your logo.
     38       First instance of this use should be followed by a TM symbol, "for Android&trade;".</p>
     39     </li>
     40     <li>Android may be used as a descriptor, as long as it is followed by a proper generic term.
     41       <ul>
     42         <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android MediaPlayer" or "Android XYZ app"</li>
     43         <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "Android features" or "Android applications"</li>
     44       </ul>
     45     </li>
     46     </ul>
     47   
     48     <p>Any use of the Android name needs to include this
     49     attribution in your communication:</p>
     50     <blockquote><em>Android is a trademark of Google Inc.</em></blockquote></p>

     63 
     64     <p>The Android robot can be used, reproduced, and modified freely in marketing
     65     communications. The color value for print is PMS 376C and the online hex
     66     color is <span style="color:#A4C639">#A4C639</span>.</p>
     67 
     68     <p>When using the Android Robot or any modification of it, proper attribution is
     69     required under the terms of the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">Creative

     74     
     75     <p>You may not file trademark applications incorporating the Android robot logo or
     76 derivatives thereof. We want to ensure that the Android robot remains available
     77 for all to use.</p>

     80 <h4 style="clear:right">Android logo</h4>
     81

     83   <img alt="" src="{@docRoot}images/brand/android_logo_no.png">
     84 </div>
     85 
     86 <p>The Android logo may not be used. Nor can this be used with the Android robot.</p>
     87 <p>The custom typeface may not be used.</p>

     92 <h2 id="brand-google_play">Google Play</h2>
     93 
     94 
     95  <p>The following are guidelines for the Google Play brand
     96  and related assets.</p>
     97 
     98 <h4>Google Play in text</h4>
     99 
    100 <p>Always include a TM symbol on the first or most prominent instance of Google Play&trade;
    101 in text.</p>
    102 
    103 <p>When referring to the mobile experience, use "Google Play" unless the text is clearly
    104 instructional for the user. For example, a marketing headline might read "Download our
    105 games on Google Play&trade;," but instructional text would read "Download our games using the Google
    106 Play&trade; Store app."
    107 
    108  <p>Any use of the Google Play name or icon needs to include this
    109     attribution in your communication:</p>
    110 
    111 <blockquote><em>Google Play is a trademark of Google Inc.</em></blockquote>
    112 
    113 
    114   <div style="float:right;width:96px;margin-left:30px;margin-top:-20px">
    115      <img src="{@docRoot}images/brand/Google_Play_Store_96.png" alt="">

    122   
    123 <h4>Google Play Store icon</h4>
    124 
    125 <p>You may use the Google Play Store icon, but you may not modify it.</p>
    126 
    127 <p>As mentioned above, when referring to the Google Play Store app in copy, use the full name:
    128 "Google Play Store." However, when labeling the Google Play Store icon directly, it's OK to use
    129 "Play Store" alone to accurately reflect the icon label as it appears on a device.</p>
    130 
    131         
    132 <h4>Google Play badge</h4>

    147          
    148   <p>The "Get it on Google Play" and "Android App on Google Play" logos are badges that you
    149     can use on your web site and promotional materials, to point to your products on Google
    150     Play.</p>
    151 
    152   <ul>
    153     <li>Do not modify the color, proportions, spacing or any other aspect of the badge image.
    154     </li>
    155     <li>When used alongside logos for other application marketplaces, the Google Play logo
    156     should be of equal or greater size.</li>
    157     <li>When used online, the badge should link to either:
    158       <ul>
    159         <li>A list of products published by you, for example:<br />
    160         <span style="margin-left:1em;">http://play.google.com/store/search?q=<em>publisherName</em></span>
    161         </li>
    162         <li>A specific app product details page within Google Play, for example:<br />
    163         <span style="margin-left:1em;">http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<em>packageName</em></span>
    164         </li>
    165       </ul>
    166     </li>
    167   </ul>
    168   
    169   <p>To quickly create a badge that links to your apps on Google Play,
    170   use the <a
    171   href="{@docRoot}distribute/googleplay/promote/badges.html">Googe Play badge generator</a>
    172   (provides the badge in over 40 languages).</p>
    173   
    174   <p>To create your own size, download an Adobe&reg; Illustrator&reg; (.ai) file for the
    175   <a href="{@docRoot}distribute/googleplay/promote/badge-files.html">Google Play
    176   badge in over 40 languages</a>.</p>
    177     
    178   <p>For details on all the ways that you can link to your product details page in Google Play,
