Irina Brock may have painted one of the most recognized symbols in the world, but her connection with green robots didn't make her famous. Brock only remembers a small incident that caught her attention. It was 20 10, and she and her 6-year-old daughter were waiting for Alice in Wonderland to start at the cinema. There was an Android logo flashing on the screen. Her daughter suddenly stood up and shouted, "That was designed by my mother!" " "Suddenly, the people in front turned around and stared at this side. Brock said that she was so embarrassed that she had to pick up the popcorn bucket to cover her face.

As early as three years ago, the Android logo was born, when Blok was a designer at Google. Because Google intends to develop an Android software platform on mobile devices, Blok and her design team were asked to design a logo for the software that is easy for customers to recognize. She was told that the logo should be related to robots, so she learned about all the science fiction toys and space movies that might be useful. Finally, she was inspired by pictograms that often appear on bathroom doors to distinguish between men and women. She drew a simple and simple robot with a trunk like a tin can and an antenna on its head.

Blok's colleagues agreed that this logo should be as open source as the software itself. She said: "We decided that it would be an open symbol and everyone in the world could customize it. This idea is quite bold. " Many companies will protect their trademarks and even spend millions of lawyers' fees on counterfeiting, but this is public.

Since then, Android logo has had various images: Japanese samurai, skateboarding boy, superman and so on. Brock is now the creative director of Edmodo, a social network for students and teachers. She said that designing a logo is like raising a child: "You give him life, and then they will have their own lives."
