I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo.

Here is some alternatives as well as a phone screen mockup
Here is Fun’s next to mine

As the kbird, maybe his name could be Ben, or Bin, or Binny the bird? Binjamin is pretty hilarious

details: font is poppins. program is adobe illustrator.

UPDATE: Thoughts on this one?

        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 bird’s 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.

        Don’t fight it, embrace the neck rolls.

        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.
