His four mascots, made in Inkscape, provide a little look at what could have been had Google gone with these scary ADHD Teletubby Hypno-droids instead of the cool, calm Droid we know and love today. The story's quite sweet, posted by Morrill himself on Google+. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll let him begin. Story time "In the before time, in the long long ago (which is to say, 2007), Android had not yet launched; publicly, it was all rumors. We were working harder than you could possibly imagine on the initial announcement on 5 November and the SDK launch a week later. "My job was developer relations, but I took a much-needed break of a couple hours and spent some quality time with Inkscape to create these... things. "See, we were prepping for an internal developer launch (meaning, we were going to ask Googlers to start fooling with the APIs and give us early feedback), and I had no eye candy for the slides we were putting together. Hence these guys. "They had a brief flurry of minor popularity amongst the team - enough to pick up the nickname "Dandroids", anyway. "But then Irina Blok (as I recall) presented her work: the bugdroid we all know and love. Funny how the professional work is of vastly higher quality than the amateur, isn't it? ;) Even so, these guys have the distinction of being the first proposed mascots for Android (that I'm aware of, at least.)"

Looks like clip art.
Looks like sex toys
Oh god it looks like they're all having an Acid attack
The current mascot/logo is really well done. Glad they did not decide to use these.. things.
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;39112432]Looks like clip art.[/QUOTE] And in a bad way.
The current droid logo kind of reminds of the Zero Punctuation imp.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;39112439]Looks like sex toys[/QUOTE] The fuck kind of sex toys have you been ramming up your bum?
I was expecting sexy robots.
They look like they're doing meth or something.
Seems like what the logo would've been like if android existed in the 90's or had a division that catered to little children

They wouldn't look bad for a game developing company I guess. The current one is better ofc. Looks a hell of a lot more professional to use.
someone start photoshopping these onto current. photos with the Android robot on it!

Why do they remind me of Jet Set Radio's artwork?
Of course they'd modernize it before putting it onto anything. Here is the fate you avoided. [t] http://filesmelt.com/dl/lg_optimus_back.jpg[/t]
How horrifying.
I kinda like it
they look like characters from a cartoon in the 90s
