We live in a time when it is hard to imagine anyone who has never played a game on a mobile phone. The most popular applications on Google Play have tens of millions of downloads. In our today’s review, we’ve gathered 20 of the most popular Android games to take a closer look at their logos. After all, the emblem of the application is one of the most important points when choosing from tens of thousands of options. So let’s try to understand what is the key to success, using the example of the Android games that have gathered the most downloads.
State of Survival: Zombie War
Action-strategy game, where everyone can plunge into the atmosphere of the post-apocalypse. The aim of the game is to build your city and protect it from zombies. After all, the Zombie Infection has spread around the world and taken over the entire civilization. It was this “Infection” or “Plague” that became the main character of the logo of the popular game. The icon is composed of a yellow road sign with the plague symbol on the triangular part and the name of the game on a rectangular one, which is set on the bottom. The whole sign is drawn on a background with a very sad ruined city landscape, executed in a brown color palette.
Last Shelter: Survival
This is another post-apocalyptic strategy game where the player needs to develop his fortress and heroes to fight against zombies. It is an online game where players from all over the world can join alliances or feud in real-time. The Last Shelter: Survival logo is a portrait image of a man wearing a military beret. The grey shades of the soldier’s camouflage are supported by the deep gradient background in darker hues. The man looks very brutal and on his face, you can see a Willingness to fight and an absolute refusal to give up. There are no additional elements or lettering on the icon, it works great as it is.
Geometry Dash
The colorful foreground game Geometry Dash is very popular among players of different age categories. As the name implies, the main characters here are geometric shapes. As levels are passed, the player will discover new shapes, but from the very beginning, the star of the arcade is the square. The aim of the game is to help the square overcome obstacles, which are also very geometric. It’s not hard to guess that the main character of the game logo is also a square. A yellow figure with a grimace of three blue rectangles is located diagonally on a blue background. Under the square, we see a small black triangle, and in the upper left corner, there is a small icon with the developer’s logo — RobTop Games.
Bingo Blitz — Bingo Games
As the name suggests, Bingo Blitz is a classic bingo game, with different modes. The rules of this game are known to everyone, so there is nothing new and surprising here, but the bright colorful design and a large choice of game rooms is what makes Bingo Blitz different from other games of this genre. The Bingo Blitz logo is as bright and juicy as the whole game. The smiling and winking cat, drawn in blue, waves from behind the yellow and blue inscription with the name of the game. All elements are on a blue background with rays of two shades emanating from the center of the composition. Looking at this badge you can surely say that with this game you will have some fun.
Five Nights at Freddy’s
Even though Five Nights at Freddy’s is a rather creepy and macabre horror, the game has a huge number of fans of all ages. Broken and stitched toys are the main characters of this mobile game. The goal is to keep an eye on the security cameras and defend yourself when danger appears. Freddy, the main character of the game, is a creepy-looking toy bear. He’s the one featured on the Five Nights at Freddy’s logo. The bear is drawn in brown shades, smiling and looking up innocently. The dark brown background only escalates the scary feeling when you look at this badge.

The Wordle! logo is as simple as the game’s essence — letters and color splashes. The badge is composed of six colorful circles, and on each of the circles, there is one of the letters of the game’s name. Pink for the “O”, red for the “R”, yellow for the “D”, “L” is written on a green circle, and “E” has a light purple background. All these letters are set around the bright blue circle with the “W” in the center. It is a very bright and friendly badge, which perfectly reflects the essence of the game.
Zen Match
Zen Match is a classic puzzle game where the player has to assemble lines of at least three identical elements. The game’s graphics are built around the Zen concept. In addition to the puzzle mode, Zen Match also has a “build your own Zen room” mode. It is this addition that allows us to assume that the main part of the game’s fans is female. The logo of Zen Match also looks pretty feminine. There are two white square cards drawn on a blue and green background. One of the cards depicts a ladybug in its classic red and black palette, and the other — a bright fuchsia-pink flower. Very lively and delightful.
Ragdoll Turbo Dismount
Ragdoll Turbo Dismount is a cool simulation game where you have to do as much damage as possible to a human figure on a motorcycle.

The man is falling from the black motorcycle, set on a geometric background in two shades of gray with some brown details. The geometry of the badge is very well balanced, with all elements but the man’s figure having straight lines and corners.

The game has thousands of fans all over the world, and this is not only the merit of the story but, in many ways, the bright colorful pictures. Even though the game itself is executed in bright and pleasant colors, its logo is rather gloomy. On the Evertale icon, we can see a portrait of a girl with a thorny crown on her head. The girl blows a bubble of bubble gum. And this white circle is the center of the composition. The drawing is set on a black background with many white “Liar” inscriptions handwritten all over it.
Candy Crush Soda Saga
The younger sister of the super popular Candy Crush puzzle by today has become almost as popular as its predecessor. The goal of the game is basically the same as the original – to collect rows and more complex shapes from the same candy.
