Who Made That Android Logo ?

As Google prepared to endorse the Android software platform for mobile devices, Blok and her design-team colleagues were told to create a look for the software — something that consumers could easily identify. The logo, she was told, should involve a robot, and so she studied sci-fi toys and space movies — anything that might help her create a character. In the end, she took inspiration from a distinctly human source: the pictograms of the universal man and woman that often appear on restroom doors. She drew a stripped-down robot with a tin-can-shaped torso and antennas on his head.
While Blok worked on her design, she and her colleagues agreed that the logo, like the software, should be open-sourced. “We decided it would be a collaborative logo that everybody in the world could customize,” she says. “That was pretty daring.” Most companies, of course, defend their trademark from copycats, and million-dollar lawsuits have been filed over the rights to corporate insignia. This one would remain free.
In the years since, the Android logo has been dressed up as a ninja, given skis and skateboards and even transformed into a limited-edition Kit-Kat bar. Blok (who is now creative director at Edmodo, a social network for students and teachers) says that creating the logo was like raising a child: “You give a life to this individual, and then they have a life of their own.”
Open Source (logo) Branding

Instagram encouraged developers to use brand naming elements that could make recognition and usage easier and readily identifiable as being ‘Instagram friendly’. Although they ruled out the use of ‘Instagram’ as one word or ‘IG’ in the product name, they didn’t discourage the use of ‘Insta’ or ‘Gram’! They did cover themselves and say they reserved the rights to approve or change the terms of the agreement to allow for product compatibility, however the proverbial horse bolted! This year, they decided to reverse this and discourage (if not ban) use of any words or letters that suggest anything close to being part of or endorsed by Instagram. This was published on their ‘open source’ Instagram Brand Guidelines. Simultaneous to this, Instagram tried to change the user Terms of Service to allow Instagram to sell user’s photographs for advertising. The combination of these two decisions saw users deactivate their accounts and developers mount a small but well-informed attack on Instagram encouraging others to shut down their apps and avoid Instagram.
