Some friend said the same thing, I've to admit that I'm not a designer and found the inspiration from the brand who spend big bucks on their logos.



In case the product gets popular you are 100% getting a copyright notice from Google, so may as well change it now rather than after the brand is established


On the other hand there is absolutely no copyright infringement, it's only the result of following material design guidelines.


Material design guidelines do not allow you to use or edit Google's logos


This would be trademark (or possibly trade-dress, or even design-patent) infringement, not copyright per-se.
