i tried so hard not to while making this π
Don't fight it, embrace the neck rolls.

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 birdβs head instead of the beak.
It's funny. On the original I think it was facing left and a case was made for updating it to face the right for readers who read left to right. The thought being that it would be looking forward rather than backward.
It's interesting - lots of differing perspectives on how we view art and marketing.
Youβre right, I had seen the original but didnβt remember that the newer version was flipped.
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.
does this look better and hopefully help make the bald man go away?
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.
Can't unsee it now
Oh no... π
Good work mate, personally I'd like it more with black eye though.
thanks! how is this?
i love this, it's so cute! great colours choice too.
thanks :D
I like this version a lot!
me too :D
I like this, but I'd prefer a solid background (just personal taste but the color crossfade backgrounds always remind of WordArt).
i made some solid versions too :)
I love this, I hope both Kbin and this mascot takes off! Binny's a wonderful name for a birbie too!
If Binny is short for Binjamin, I'm totally sold
Is this a mascot in the same way that the mastodon is mastodon's mascot and Snoo is Reddit's mascot? For some reason this mockup really looks like an app icon haha
I agree. IMO a mascot is something you can make a plush toy out of.
I like it, very nice π
thank you C:
I like both versions (different eyes) very much. Nice work minnieo!
thanks :)
I love cute birdies. And this logo looks so awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your work :)
Like the colour choice!
Can't help but see a sumo wrestler looking up to the left before I see the bird though, sorry! π
I think of all the versions in the thread this one probably least so.
I think it's really nice!!!
tysm!
Lovely!
Regarding the name: In a lot of languages, cockatoos are spelled with a K, e.g. German βKakaduβ, Dutch βKaketoeβ, so a name starting with K would make sense, and thereβs quite some Germanic names start with K, e.g. Karl, Klara, Katharina, Konrad, and many more. I personally like Klara, sounds like something a cockatoo would say on repeat. Just an idea.
Still say it should be named kben.
