An inconspicuous detail forms the basis of the picture, which after a couple of years becomes one of the most recognizable. This is how the logo of the Android operating system appeared. It is impossible to imagine modern life without a smartphone: it will deliver mail, receive a call, and remind you of an important meeting. Until 15 years ago, mobile phones did not have such capabilities. Expansion of options became available thanks to the emergence of operating systems - programs that provide interaction between boards, making the device "smart". The first operating system for a smartphone was based on the Linux computer operating system. And it got the name Android by analogy with a humanoid robot performing minimal maintenance functions. In essence, Android OS is a simplified prototype of the human consciousness inside the phone, thanks to which the device has advanced functions. Unlike a person, if something breaks down in this system, prompt repairs can be made in a professional service center . Android is now installed on about 70% of mobile devices in the world. Hundreds of thousands of applications have been written for it. And when, in the mid-2000s, the talk about the presentation of the finished "operating system" came up, naturally, there was a need for a logo. The developers have put forward a number of requirements for the logo: it should not look like robots from science fiction films and TV series; it should be easy to remember. An additional point was the openness of the image. That is, no copyright, anyone could use the logo by changing a little color or shape. ORIGINALLY FROM LENINGRAD Irina Blok, the daughter of Soviet engineers from Leningrad, after leaving school moved with her family to the United States. Here the girl received the profession of a designer and began her career. Irina has worked for several large companies, including Google. It was she who became the "mother" of the logo of the popular operating system. Irina Blok has reviewed many science fiction films in search of inspiration. Hundreds of sketches have been sent to the trash can. One Sunday evening, while relaxing with friends in a bar, she saw a pictogram on the door, representing the men's restroom. Irina took this picture as a basis, refined it - and the green robot familiar to everyone turned out. And if even a child knows this logo, then almost no one has heard of its creator. He did not bring fame or large income to Irina. But she gave an excellent impetus for career development: now she is the creative director of the social network for students and teachers.
