Ice Cream Sandwich is Up for a User Experience Award Tonight, Here is a Taste of Some of Its Inspiration

Android 4.0 is up for a 2012 User Experience (UX) award tonight and to help celebrate, the Android team released a video that not only goes through some of the best commercials they released at launch, but they also give us a look at some of the early design ideas. If you don’t feel like watching all of the commercials, most of which are pretty brilliant by the way, then jump to the 2:05 mark to see the motion and visual graphics stuff.

I think most of us can agree that Ice Cream Sandwich as an operating system is nothing short of beautiful. It’s minimal lines, smooth transitions, and simple colors have made this the most refined version of Android yet. Hopefully it takes home this award.
