The one on the left looks cute. I don't know if kbin needs a mascot, but if it does I vote for that one. The cuter the better.

P.S: If it was up to me all mascots would be frogs, but hey this is a democracy.

I love the left one.

And all this while I thought Kbin stood for "Cabin"...

I like the folder, sure, but these have so much character. Left is popular but the right is adorable. Love it, good job!

It's a nice image the one on the left, though I hope we stick with the original logo when it comes to the favicon and the progressive web app, it's a nice shaped and styled logo with a be good color

Cheers for the creativity though on that mascot image!

Yeah I don't want the Kbird to replace the folder, just a supplementary mascot

I'm just biased, I love them birbies!

I support this

Tired of birds or at least pushover birds not going to lie. It's never anything 🅒🅞🅞🅛
Robots are boring at this point too.

I love me a cockatoo!

Nicely designed, but not particularly a fan of this mascot to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Darling! I endorse this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Super cool mascot! The left one is less cluttered, but it probably makes more sense to have the cacatua facing right. Thinking of using it as the kbin icon on a ferdium service.

The back of its head should look like a K

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Beautiful work. I like it.

As a cockatoo fan I’m 100% for this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Reminds me too much of a certain toxic supermod on Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I agree that Kbin could use a mascot (not necessarily need a mascot), but IMO the current proposals are not furry enough in this year of the Fediverse of 2023.

Left fits the current flat, minimalist aesthetic. But I want to like right more lol

Kbird sounds like a KDE app.

Kbin mascot would have to be a friendly rat, no? Lemmy's cousin who lives in a bin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah. Kbin might connect to Lemmy, but it isn't Lemmy. It's its own thing, much like how Mastodon also isn't Lemmy, although they can interconnect.

[–] Dustwin 1 points 2 years ago

Never said they were the same thing. But, hey keep the policing up, someone needs to randomly explain the Fediverse lines, haha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yes left bird please

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

@FixedFun party parrot time!

This is the first one of these I've liked enough to comment on, and I really really love this.
