I refined FixedFun's mascot design for Kbin. Thoughts? Feedback? (More pics/alts in post!) (media.kbin.social)

I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo.

Here is some alternatives as well as a phone screen mockup
Here is Fun's next to mine

As the kbird, maybe his name could be Ben, or Bin, or Binny the bird? Binjamin is pretty hilarious

details: font is poppins. program is adobe illustrator.

UPDATE: Thoughts on this one?

i tried so hard not to while making this 😭

If the logo was flipped so that the bird was facing to the left it might help. At least for those of us who read from left to right, the first thing we see when scanning the image is the back of the bird’s head instead of the beak.

If you adjust it a bit you could probably get another bird in there too. The pointy white part as the beak and the black beak as the wing.

Don't fight it, embrace the neck rolls.

does this look better and hopefully help make the bald man go away?

[–] Niello@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It looks better (cuter!) but I'm not sure if the bald man went away. Maybe if you add a little line to make the upper and lower beak clearer? Maybe a little smile.
