Wayback Machine! For Google Merch, I go to archives to see any products and their SKUs. I then go to where their product images are stored to browse through the images. For Dead Zebra and everything else, I wing it and try getting images straight from the archives.

Using an Android package ID can lead directly to an APK download page. For example, searching "com.electricsheep.edj apk" for its APK for download.

Often searching "android mascot animation" can find tons of neat videos on YouTube. The video is downloaded at original quality.

As Google is where Bugdroid originated, I consider it the be the official company of it. Google Merch Shop and Dead Zebra Shop are examples of official products.

Though "not official" should rarely be used as the design is placed under CC BY, allowing any company like FRIC or Canary Marketing to make their own Bugdroid merchandise.

The only time I would say "bootleg" is when companies try to deliberately clone merchandise. For example, Dead Zebra's Android figurines are a hot spot for fakes.

In Android's licensing pages, it is referred to as "Android bot", In Google's 2023 rebrand blog, it was called "bugdroid". Sometimes people say "Andy" or simply "Android". In Google's CES 2024 blog, it was called "The Bot".

It is kinda all over the place. For simplicity, "bugdroid" is used for the robot.

Here is the Renders page thumbnail for example. From left to right:

• "classic" is the original 2008 mascot.
• "new classic" is the refreshed 2014 mascot.
• "iconic" is the vibrant 2019 mascot.
• "modern" is the latest 2023 mascot.

"Iconic" was a name often given to Android merchandise with the 2019 branding, so I went with that. The 2023 mascot is often in 3D but is using its 2D variant here for continuity.

It is not. This is an archive of merchandise imagery mostly. Sometimes you will find a product that is still up for sale, the View page that will link to its store page.

These Bugdroid emojis were used in Android until 4.4, replaced by the Blobs. 1.5 came first as a emoticon-masking icons. When 4.0 released, a new set of icons were added but 1.5's set was not deleted, rather delegated as the LDPI with the new ones being HDPI. In 4.1, emojis were added and 4.3 was the last to use Bugdroid emojis.

Sure can! It's not my server being used to host anyway so...

I recommend going to the bugdroid.org repository for media as the GitHub Pages API caps directory indexes at 1,000 entries, as seen in /media/products/

Without creating an entire site, I wanted to archive all other Google merchandise merchandise easily. It is done so here for all the Googlers.

You can mention any page in the repository's Issues on GitHub. Those that aren't on GitHub can reach me at gem@techie.com.
