I am so thankful for all the wonderful feed back I got on my last post. Now, I am back with some updated designs based on all that feedback.
What I got overall from the feedback was basically: The right one is cute, and better, but maybe a little generic, the left one has more character.
So, in this post I tried to work off the design on the right and give it more personality and flair, and I present 6 potential designs where I tried to be creative with shape design.
I also saw someone’s idea about “kbinauts” aka astronauts, and I thought that was so adorable, so I tried to implement an astronaut theme on what I thought was one of the cuter designs for the Kbird (Binny?). Bring on the feedback!
Edit: #1 winning by a landslide, with #6 in second, and #4 in third
Edit 2: How about #1, #4 and #6 in the astronaut helment?
Edit 3: since this is meant to be a mascot of sorts, I made a mock logo of the AskKbin mag using #1. What do we think lol?
#4 is my favorite
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 :)
#1!!!
I voted in the poll. Don’t forget to utilize it everyone!
VPN voting is blocked🙁
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 like 1 and 6 the most!
I agree!

Made a poll, consider voting here: https://strawpoll.com/LVyK862NOn0ahhhh now I have to choose between 1 and 6? This might take a while lol, they’re both so cute!
You should run a poll on these. #1 for sure.
I just made one! https://strawpoll.com/LVyK862NOn0
#1, no astronaut
#2, #3 and #5 looks elegant, fancy; #4 and #6 looks friendly; BUT #1 IS JUST TOO ADORABLE
I like #1
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!
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.
#4 or #1
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
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” : DThat Kbinners idea reminded me of the Australian white ibis. Also known as a Bin Chicken.
There could be two Kbirds, the Cockatoos are also from that zone, 2 mascots 1 cap.
thanks! cute idea 👀
I’ll pile on and vote for #1 as well.
