Looks a bit microsofty to me, tbh. Like it's another app in the office suite.

/u/fixedfun 's parrot is more lighthearted. Like the snapchat ghost or twitter bird.

Apparently there's a kbin app in development. Don't feel the folder thing is a good fit for an app tile tbh.

Yeah, but the kbin app already has a logo, it looks like a little bow and arrows. Or maybe the bow is a moon? It has arrows. I find the various elements questionably sized in relation to each other, but aside from that I like it.

Though tbh, if it somehow didn't, I'd be happy with the folder symbol. I think where logos are concerned, likely I just really like simple designs and dislike animals

Artemis is a third party app.

I believe the Artemis logo is a play off the NASA space program. It looks like a spaceship going out into space or a similar theme.

I couldnt put my finger on it, but "Microsofty" really clicked. I feel like Ive seen the Kbin logo as a folder icon in linux icon packs.

Dont get me wrong, Its not a bad logo imo. But if I have to be nitpicky, I'd like something more unique such as this bird.
