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?
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
