Here's the nice Kbird with changes that people suggested, is OK if it isn't the mascot of Kbin but it will always live in our hearts, the real mascot was the friends we made along the way. (media.kbin.social)

Oh yeah I always said "idea" never "finished product" if someone wants to take a crack on it and improve it, they're not just guest, they can come to any part of this house.

I'm just a dude who doesn't have any background in art. So the whole terms of "line work" or "line weight" mean nothing to me.
What I see is just a nice little bird icon. And if that logo was used everywhere it would be instantly recognizable at a glance. So for me as a user of a platform it would do perfectly fine as is. Maybe it could be improved upon but I wouldn't be able to tell you how.

What I do not appreciate is how the comment you replied to presented their feedback on this. They might know what they're talking about (or not, this is the internet. Anyone can make any claims.). If this is supposed to be constructive criticism, I can confidently say they've missed their mark due to their tone alone.

I never meant you in particular meant this to be a finished work, in fact I thought you posted this in hopes of getting some constructive feedback rather than the blind adulation everyone showed here.

As far as I can see, nobody even bothered with thinking about what they are looking at and participating in the process of making it better, except that one person bringing up the balding dude silhouette.

I think it's on the right track as it is. Needs the improvements I mentioned, plus anything I can't see obviously, one person can't notice every detail ever.

As for help, I didn't offer any as I don't do vector art myself, so I wouldn't be able to solve the issues I mentioned, perhaps ironically.

well more people could help in a way, for example, making a 3D version of it with super realism, out of my realm for now, as long as people are in for a cacatua or any bird
