What do we think?
For me the Astronaut theme has a bit too much going on for it, and most users would probably be a bit confused about what a kbinaut is in the first place. I love the bird as it is in its own right. :)
you might be right, it is a cute idea but maybe a bit too much. I did enjoy playing with it though lol
After all, that's what a mascot is for! I can totally imagine the bird driving around in full astronaut attire in some future version of SuperTuxKart.
Big fan of the Kbinaut one! Kbinaut has been the term that clicked with me.
username checks out, thanks :D
I also love the kbinaut one! Requesting #4 in an astronaut helmet too!!
what do you think?
Loving this. Very good
That looks perfect to me! Ship it :)
I like 1 and 6 the most!
I agree!

ahhhh now I have to choose between 1 and 6? This might take a while lol, they're both so cute!
Can we, uh, have the whole gang? You know how some mascots have a group of friends they hangout with?
I'm still cheering #4 though. #6 is now my second favourite.
I absolutely love the collaboration you and @FixedFun have made with this design, as well as the callback to the unfortunately deleted kbeanaut thread.. I'd also like to second @birlocke_ and @Gamers_Mate's alternate idea of the Bird in a bin (ala bin chicken).
Personally my favorite is #6, followed by #1 and #4!
If these ever become an icon pack I'd love variations of all the birds as well as kbinaut mode!
oh thats a cute idea, a variation pack! thanks for the compliments ♡
Try to make ones for the popular magazines, that's something I was looking to do.
My vote is for #1. I like the vibe of #4, but prefer the silhouette of #1. The border of the head seems to follow the plumage rather than slightly resembling a decapitation.
They're all great though. One thing I would love is if missing profile pictures (of kbin users) were replaced with variations of the bird - different shapes and background colours - until the user decides on a profile picture. It might have a bit too much personality for a generic profile picture, but it would be a cute indication of kbin users.
Also, for some reason I like the name Kevin for the bird. Sounds a lot like Kbin, and I have a sweet spot for animals with human names.

Omg thats a great idea! I love it! Why didnt I think of Kevin? Thats a great name idea too, I like it more than binny or binjamin
I like #1
#2, #3 and #5 looks elegant, fancy; #4 and #6 looks friendly; BUT #1 IS JUST TOO ADORABLE
Very nice! My favorites are #1 and #4.
I'll pile on and vote for #1 as well.
I couldn't view your last post (apparently there's an issue with having with having thumbnails set to off making you not view the image even when the post is pulled up) so I have a few things I want to say:
- Changing the outline to match the background instead of just black was brilliant and really livens up the icon
- That subtle change from the original to #1 in this post with the perspective/curved bottom line added a lot of character to the bird
- You have a spoopy profile pic but golly can you make a cute design!
This comment made me smile lol. I love this so much, thanks for the kind words!! especially point #3 (my favorite) lmfao
I look forward to seeing more of your work on here!
#4 or #1
#1, no astronaut
I vote for #6
I have an umbrella cockatoo so these icons hit different. I like 1 because it's representative of being alert and engaged.
#1 still holds it for me. The overall shape scales the best from tiny icon to larger mascot.
ooo lovely. 1, 4 and 6 are my favourites.
you should do a "kbinaut" style one but with the bird in a bin for the "kbinners" : D
That Kbinners idea reminded me of the Australian white ibis. Also known as a Bin Chicken.
#1 and #4 are the best. Think I slightly prefer #1 at the moment. #6 is close too if you want to keep a 3rd option in the running.
1 is pretty nice
Number 1 is great!
#1 and #4 are the only ones I cannot see some (distorted) form of the balding guy looking left,so those are definitely my favorites.
#4 because it has a good sense of depth while maintaining a clean, simple look. The others are nice, but I don't prefer their flatter style.
#1 is my favourite
#3 could be interesting because of its different shape, but overall I'd go for #6!
Loving these bird designs. The astronaut helmet is pretty dope too ngl, I'd vote for #1 or #4 w/ the helmet
I vote for #1
Damn I love the first one a lot
My favorites are
#4 > #1
