Irina Blok may have created one of the most recognized logos in the world, but her association with the green robot didn’t make her famous. Blok only remembers one small incident that brought her to the spotlight. It was 2010. She and her 6-year-old daughter were waiting for "Alice in Wonderland" to start in the cinema. At that time, an Android logo flashed on the screen. Her daughter suddenly stood up and shouted, "That was designed by my mother!" Suddenly everyone in front turned around and stared at this side. Blok said she was so embarrassed that she had to cover her face with a popcorn bucket.

The Android logo was born as early as three years ago, when Blok was working as a designer at Google. As Google prepared to develop its Android software platform for mobile devices, Blok and her design team were asked to create a logo for the software that would be easily identifiable by customers. She was told that the logo would have something to do with robots, so she set out to find out about any sci-fi toys and space movies that might be useful. Finally, she was inspired by the pictograms that often appear on restroom doors to distinguish between men and women. She drew a simple, unadorned robot with a torso like a tin can and an antenna on its head.

Blok’s colleagues agreed that the logo should be open source like the software itself. She said: "We decided that it will be an open logo that everyone in the world can personalize. This idea is quite bold." Many companies will protect their trademarks and even spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to prevent counterfeiting. Million dollar lawsuits, but this one is open.

Since then, the Android logo has had various images: Japanese samurai, skateboard boy, Superman, etc. Blok, now the creative director of Edmodo, a social network for students and teachers, said designing a logo is like raising a child: "You give it life, and then they have a life of their own."
