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.

    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.

    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!

    Maybe I’m missing context, but I’m not seeing the “bald man” image in either of these. I see that avoiding it is the reasoning behind the right one, but I have to say that I feel a greater appeal towards the left image. Just seems more happy and bright (not in color, as they’re the same colors, but in mood from the tilt of the head)

    That said, I don’t mind the right. Just prefer the left.

    I really like this update. Having the crest up signifies interest. The old design looks sedated, almost scared, in comparison.

    Throwing my vote to righty as well.

    The left loses a little too much detail at smaller scale.

    The little expression marks on righty need to go for the same reason imo.

    All in all though, I like it!
