design is essential in today's world so we challenged ourselves to create a design that was not just for Android phones and tablets at its annual IO Developer keynote google has released a new design language for Android Chrome OS and the web googles calling it material design the new look which was first previewed in a Google+ update last month includes splashes of color refreshed iconography and a more consistent interface hierarchy the entire interface is based on what Google calls a quote unifying theory of a rationalized space in a system of motion yeah it's a mouthful a video released by Google shows the new design language in action with radically redesigned versions of googles apps for Android and the web including Gmail and calendar google also trotted out a new look for Androids logo it's entirely lowercase and replaces the one Google has used for the past five and a half years material design represents the first real departure from the company's so-called holo UI first introduced with Android 4.0 and 2012 holo came with design guidelines for app makers which at the time helped unify the disparate styles that independent developers had used for their apps that consistency has changed the face of Android and although google has only demonstrated its own material design app so far it's releasing a comprehensive set of guidelines and tools for developers to create web and Android apps in line with the new style
