Perhaps I'm alone in this (or downright wrong), but I always thought the gory head-on-stick image used in AO was designed for that conference meeting, then when they were ready to sell them to the public it became a cuter image similar to the ones seen for their other products in AO. Like, I always took the change to be an intentional joke. That behind closed doors they made this horrific image to sell the idea to the other Glukkons, but they turned it into an innocent happier image to sell to consumers.
