Android always has an Easter egg with each new version buried in the Settings menu, but something different is happening this year: each new beta modifies the Android 17 logo a little, and maybe hinting at something bigger in the works.
As it stands today in Android 17 Beta 3, the Easter egg found in the Settings menu hasn’t actually changed and still shows the one from Android 16. But Google has been share logos for Android 17 along with each new beta version.
The new logo has some fun Material 3 Expressive vibes while still maintaining the outer space theme that has been running through the last few versions of Android.
But it keeps changing.
As an Android developer Dylan Roussel first stainedThe Android 17 logo has been changing subtly with each beta version. The Android 17 Beta 1 logo showed the central “planet” in one way, and the second beta added a small curve in the center. Beta 3 builds on that even more with a spiral shape forming in the center.
What is happening here?
Is probably It’s just a fun little game on Google’s part, but it suggests that we haven’t seen the final Android 17 logo/Easter egg. Dylan points out that the “final” version of the logo currently redirects to the Beta 3 logo, and that this redirect itself suggests that there is at least one more version to come, which certainly seems plausible. But here everything is possible. So far, these logos only appear in Google developer blog posts about Android 17 instead of the actual operating system. So, as mentioned, it’s probably just a fun little game or tease on Google’s part.
Chances are, in some way, what we’re looking at is the Easter egg that will eventually appear in the Android 17 setup, and it’s a little fun to know that whatever it is, it continues to evolve with each new version.
Where do you think Google is heading?
