Google Play, also branded as the Google Play Store and formerly Android Market, is a digital distribution service operated and developed by Google.

Google Play logo as of 25 July 2022

The new Google Play logo retains the basic form of the previous design, which cleverly evokes a ‘Play’ button, the colours (red, green, blue and yellow) are now bolder, more saturated and make more of an impact. The change brings the colours in line with other Google logos, such as the Google Chrome and Google Drive logos and the logo for the eponymous search engine.
