Early Proposed Android Logos Prove Engineers Should Not be Designers!

Android's robotic logo is now famous. It looks friendly and cheerful, which although is a very difficult thing to do with a logo. That the current logo of Android could have been very different. Dan Morrill who works in Google's Android Engineering team shared some of the early proposed logos for Android.

These proposed robotic logos nicknamed in Google as 'Dandroids' were shared by Dan Morrill on Google+.

Early Android Logo - Red

One could hardly blame Dan Morrill for designing slightly scary looking robots as a logo as he is not a designer. He is an engineer and it is expected that his design ideas might at best be amateurish.

Early Android Logo - Others

It would be one really hideous looking mascot if Google actually had not chosen a professional designer's ideas which gave us the current mascot.

Thankfully better sense prevailed and Google has a much nicer, friendly looking Android logo :-) .
