here’s a photo i just got of the two prototypes next to one another. i’m still convinced the larger one has a shorter, squatter head than the smaller one. working out the details.

simple ya
April 8th, 2009 at 7:06 am
it totally does, the smaller one is thinner at the base under the eyes and looks rad. get that ink machine twice as big with the same specs and your in business, Like a Boss of course
April 8th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Yeah the head on the pink one doesnt look so….. inflated?… i think lol. But it still looks awesome and i want one!
April 8th, 2009 at 7:24 am
I’ll have to be sure to get one
April 8th, 2009 at 7:26 am
That’s true, you can definatly notice a diference between the smaller version (very big head) and the larger version (the mediocre head). Anyway, blink rocks and enjoy recording and tour (be sure to drop by in Belgium, will ya?)
cheers
April 8th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Yeah mark i have to agree. The big one’s head is a little off
April 8th, 2009 at 7:33 am
yes it has!
April 8th, 2009 at 7:34 am
looks proportionate to me
April 8th, 2009 at 7:38 am
i think ur right.
the white ones head doesn’t look as wide as the purple ones ether.
theres a difference in the legs to but it doesn’t matter there both really cool!:D
hope u fix the problems!
April 8th, 2009 at 7:47 am
squatter head looks better than the white one
come to Spain, Barcelona!
April 8th, 2009 at 7:48 am
the pink one has a slanted head. make the first one bigger and its perfect.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:54 am
they look really cute side by side…its like the momma and the baby!
April 8th, 2009 at 8:04 am
7 legs? or is one in the back? i liked the picture, but why a prototype… kinda creepy
April 8th, 2009 at 8:11 am
looking good!
April 8th, 2009 at 8:15 am
It looks like the radius of the curve on the larger ones head is shallower.
Like, the smaller one has a tighter curve whereas the large one looks like the curve has been stretched. Hard to tell from a photo though!
April 8th, 2009 at 8:27 am
FUCK YEAH i am the first comment

Hey Mark!
is this Your new identification or Logo?
is it only for you or have it concerned with Blink?
i don’t realize it at this moment!
Best Reguards from Germany!
April 8th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Yeh ur right it does, well guess thts wht prototypes r for, Any chance of sellin the prototypes when ur done wi em? i’ll put in an offer
April 8th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Hey Mark, jst checked out the new merchandise on the Blink-182 website..Lookin good!
April 8th, 2009 at 9:10 am
compared to the eyes of the octopus the larger one has really a shotter/squarter head.
April 8th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Your right… the sphere part on the head is too big,,, whats this for anyway?
April 8th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Nicee Whos making these?
April 8th, 2009 at 9:48 am
It may be a little shorter but I think the main difference is the area below the eyes and above the arms seems shorter. Maybe have them lengthen it a little.
April 8th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Oh , i love it , very gooooooooooooooood
mark rocks
love ya always and forever (L)
April 8th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Yes, i think the smaller if you see the eyes, his head is largest, because protudes more around the eyes
April 8th, 2009 at 10:36 am
they’re both amazing!
i really want one of these!
love you and come to Brazil!
April 8th, 2009 at 10:43 am
the larger one’s head is tilting too far to the right side. but the pink is definitely cooler than plain white.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:17 am
It does.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Can’t wait to figure out what these are all about (:
April 8th, 2009 at 11:24 am
i agree you can see the difference and it seems the bigger one leans more to the left than the other one. the small ones head doesnt tilt at all.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:25 am
and can i ask how you came to use the octopus for your logo?
April 8th, 2009 at 11:30 am
I think it looks alot cooler once it’s painted pink. Cant wait until the final product.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:44 am
how much will these be sold for?
April 8th, 2009 at 11:51 am
yea now that i look at it more the pink ones head looks a little lop sidded but there both good so it doesn’t matter witch one u pick.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Yes, I can see the difference.. I WANT ONE!
April 8th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
what is this all about anyways??? what with the octopus???
April 8th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
yeah…the pink one does have a shorter head. they both look sick though.
hmmmmmmmm….maybe they can paint the smaller one a different color so it looks different in a way. i guess…maybe if they want to.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I don’t think it looks fatter and shorter, it looks like it’s at a different angle. The pink one seems as if it appears more fat and short because it’s leaning or angled lower to the left, and the white one appears more straight on and not ’slouched’, so to speak.
April 8th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I want them aaaa
April 8th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
i think the front tentacle is different
April 8th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
I want one!!!
April 8th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
OK what? Are you designing these?
April 8th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I like the pink one better. But im not sure why. How much will these go for?
April 8th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I’m convinced as well. Have fun.
April 8th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
I agree.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
I still wanna know what the fuck these things are/do.
April 8th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
youre right, the bigger ones head looks thinner than the smaller one….those things are sick as hell definitly gonna get me one of those
April 8th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
I think the head is the same but the legs are higher. But it’s u mark so I agree.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Yeah, I like the smaller model better. I don’t like the eyes on the bigger one. It’s head is weirdy.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
ever heard of Call of Cthulhu? This reminds me of it.
April 8th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
both are pretty cool!!
April 8th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
both look cool, i actually like the pink one’s head more, it looks more intimidating or something, that’s just me though.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:00 am
why “octopus”? i like it but i want to know what’s means
April 9th, 2009 at 4:14 am
i may be a little late on the scene…but WTF MARK??? WHY DO U ALWAYS POST SHIT WE HAVE WHEN WE HAVE NO EARTHLY CLUE WHAT ITS ABOUT!? lol. All i know is its a “prototype”…what does that even mean in application to your life???
April 9th, 2009 at 5:10 am
The pink one looks evil. The white one doesn’t. That the only difference I can see.
I want a pink one! XD
April 9th, 2009 at 5:36 am
woop woop
April 9th, 2009 at 6:07 am
okay so wat are these things for? they look amazing and all but is it something to do with blink? and it has nothing to do with the number of albums-they already added another star to the smiley logo honoring the new album, so its gotta be something else…
April 9th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Mark, you are obviously driving us all MAD with the pussy thing.
Come onnnn, what’s the deal!
April 9th, 2009 at 9:05 am
the pink one is cooler i think..
but it’s cute ;D
i like octopus..
maark, please come to brazil on summer 2009 !
April 9th, 2009 at 9:07 am
i fucking want one..
WHY THERE’S NO DELIVERY SERVICE TO NICE STUFF IN BRAZIL ?
like, my famousstarsn’straps shirt is fake !
i’m gonna kill myself.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:37 am
LOL cool mark. Tell me what’s with you and octopi?
April 9th, 2009 at 11:17 am
hey mark
i just found this on youtube, i think its pretty interesting, you should check it out!
also, you’re in it, so that may convince you to look at this
it is called ‘4 chords 36 songs’
April 9th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Yeah bro…the Pink one’s tentacles are kinda off compared to the smaller prototype
April 9th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
can i get a tattoo of it?
April 9th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
I think the thing is that the pink one is larger near the eyes compared to the other one.
April 9th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
I’m excited for a finished product. My girlfriend and I both want it (especially if it stays pink. Looks pretty rad). She’s all into designer toys and stuff like this (loves Tokidoki) so that’s really cool.
I agree that you can really see the difference between the two heads. The pink one looks closer to your logo version, but the smaller one looks more like a real octopus (head size), in my opinion. I like both.
Excitement. Still bringing the awesome.
April 10th, 2009 at 8:03 am
When do I get to buy one of these?
April 10th, 2009 at 11:40 am
just out of curiosity, don’t you get annoyed of getting the same kinds of comments?
April 10th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Not bad, i thinking what that mean at all.. or you just like octopuses? “>
I like it would be more darker, like cherry, or green like plutonium “))
April 10th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Pink Octupus rules man!!
April 10th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
how can you get this stuff done, I wanna make some !
April 17th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Yeah, the big guy is proportional all the way until it tapers towards the eyes… You were right Mark
April 17th, 2009 at 11:59 am
is the white one a prototye or will be a color as well. pink and white go good in my office with my mom’s purse and shoe calandars.
April 24th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
yeh i gotta agree mark. the pink one has a more fat, squat head. it still looks awesome though! i cant wait to see you guys in concert this summer. i’ve been waiting since i was in 6th grade.
