Do you like Android Mascots? I think you do. Most of do, or I should say we all love them. They are always decorated with a special version of dessert, making it the yummiest Operating system ;-)

The creamy FroYo, chocolaty ICS, Gummy bummy Jelly Bean have always attracted us. The green robo (android actually means robot) looks firendly, isn't it?

Googler Dan Morrill, who worked in Android developer relations when the mobile operating system was in its early stages. He designed the colorful bots back in 2007 to add a little "eye candy" to an presentation he was putting together for an internal developer launch.
