It is not known for certain how and where the little green robot appeared, which became one of the main components of the Android system brand. Some sources claim that the authorship belongs to a certain Irina Blok, who worked in the sales department of Google in 2007. According to other sources, the logo was created by geeks from the Ascender Corporation, who developed Android fonts. According to the third version, the logo was developed long before the mobile operating system of the same name. It was created by the Atari Games corporation, which released the computer game Gauntlet The Third Encounter in 1989. Among the main characters of the game is a robot called "android". Recently, another story about the creation of the world-famous logo appeared on the Internet. android "The robot appeared a long time ago, at the origins of everything," said one of the Android team members. "Someone from the engineers created it. I don't even know who. And then he probably showed the robot to Andy Rubin, and he in turn appreciated the creative idea. He used the robot as a symbol of his newly born project." This was before the robot started appearing on all Android products. “Over time, engineers started using the robot in every app on the phone,” the same employee said. But it caused some confusion and concern at Google. This happened when the team was working on the first version of Android software and the very first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1. Google had already entered into agreements with T-Mobile that agreed which parts of the phone and its software would be branded by T-Mobile and which would be branded by Google. But the little green robot wasn’t part of the Google or T-Mobile brand at the time. Management was looking at the logo and deciding what to do with it. They had to figure out whether to keep the robot or not. But luckily, T-Mobile liked the robot. They agreed to let Google put its green Android logo on the phones or on the packaging.
