I gotta say, the Google Play logo never looked so good. After it was discovered that Google Play gift cards were going to be in Android’s future, the only question to ask was, “when?” Well, it looks like it may be sooner than later thanks to a few pics Android Central was leaked. An anonymous tipster sent in a couple pictures of the soon to be sold $10 and $25 Google Play gift cards.
