Again, based on @FixedFun 's original designs so creds to them for the idea.

Thoughts about these ones? For the one on the right, I tried a different angle to hopefully give more bird and less bald man.

Ok. I am someone who feels like kbin doesn't really need a mascot at this point in time. It seems really early and tbh the whole thing feels a little forced. Really not into the bird design either. I just don't get it...

But holy shit this new icon on the right has 100% changed my mind.

It is adorable and I'd put that on the first page of my phone home screen, no questions asked.

Well done.

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

[–] GxC@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like the right one. It oozes confidence :)

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

thanks! bald man mostly gone I'd hope!

[–] HandsHurtLoL@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It can't be done, but I would be tickled pink if the left image was the default icon and the right image was the icon if I have notifications waiting for me. 🤣

The second one (right) is so much better than the previous ones. It loses the 'bald guy' look that the other ones have.

I still maintain that we don't need a mascot, but... that one would be good if we need one.

Definitely the right one! Exactly what I wanted with the last poll!

[–] minnieo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

im glad i could fulfill that :D

The second one improves the original concept so much, I really like it! ☺️

I really don't want a logo that reminds me of that sexist shithead troll of a Reddit supermod.

who?

[–] Gooper3@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I really like both of these a whole lot, but I have to agree with most others here - the one on the right is wonderful!

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

My 10 year old daughter says the one on the right.

[–] capnminus@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I must be in the minority here, I think the one on the left looks much cuter.
