Elroy’s Story

A cartoon smiley face plus a black butterfly equals a cartoon smiley face with antennae.

Eco Elroy began as a simple visual concept: an iconic 1970s "yellow smiley" image embellished with antennae to represent the creepy and crawly creatures who pollinate our fields and flowers.

A cartoon smiley face with antennae plus an image of the Earth equals a cartoon earthling face with antennae and a big smile.

That simple visual concept became an Earthling Emoji: a recoloring and reshaping of the antennae-sporting "yellow smiley" image with blue and green hues representing land, water, and sky.

An illustrated character with a round green body and antennae, smiling face, wearing green and black clothes, and holding a target with a leaf symbol. The depiction includes a mathematical expression with a smiling face character, plus sign, and target with leaf symbol.

That Earthling Emoji became Eco Elroy: a superhero character who helps us work together to figure out what our home planet needs to be happy and healthy, and what people can do about it!

A cartoon earthling character in a green spacesuit with antennas, holding a target with a leaf symbol plus a green sprouting plant equals a cartoon of the Earth with a heart around it illustrating environmental conservation.
