Here's my final idea for a Kbin mascot, I call it the "Kbird" (K = Kakatuá), since someone shared a Fediverse flag resembling a pirate flag I thought a bird mascot would fit. (media.kbin.social)

It's a nice image the one on the left, though I hope we stick with the original logo when it comes to the favicon and the progressive web app, it's a nice shaped and styled logo with a be good color

Cheers for the creativity though on that mascot image!

Yeah I don't want the Kbird to replace the folder, just a supplementary mascot

I'm just biased, I love them birbies!

[–] stephfinitely@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I support this

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I love me a cockatoo!

Tired of birds or at least pushover birds not going to lie. It's never anything 🅒🅞🅞🅛
Robots are boring at this point too.

Nicely designed, but not particularly a fan of this mascot to be honest.

I like the folder, sure, but these have so much character. Left is popular but the right is adorable. Love it, good job!

[–] curiousbear@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

And all this while I thought Kbin stood for "Cabin"...

[–] Jezebelley@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

As a cockatoo fan I’m 100% for this.

[–] venia_sil@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

I agree that Kbin could use a mascot (not necessarily need a mascot), but IMO the current proposals are not furry enough in this year of the Fediverse of 2023.

Reminds me too much of a certain toxic supermod on Reddit.

Do it. Go full KDE name schemes. Kbird, Kmagazine, Komments, etc.

[–] LemmyStartNow@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

The back of its head should look like a K

This is the first one of these I've liked enough to comment on, and I really really love this.

[–] econpol@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Beautiful work. I like it.

@FixedFun party parrot time!

[–] Nefastious@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Super cool mascot! The left one is less cluttered, but it probably makes more sense to have the cacatua facing right. Thinking of using it as the kbin icon on a ferdium service.

[–] Coliseum7428@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Left fits the current flat, minimalist aesthetic. But I want to like right more lol

[–] Zuberi@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yesssss

[–] Suedeltica@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Darling! I endorse this.

[–] foreverskylight@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yes left bird please

[–] Dustwin@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kbird sounds like a KDE app.

Kbin mascot would have to be a friendly rat, no? Lemmy's cousin who lives in a bin.

[–] techno156@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Nah. Kbin might connect to Lemmy, but it isn't Lemmy. It's its own thing, much like how Mastodon also isn't Lemmy, although they can interconnect.
