Again, based on @FixedFun 's original designs so creds to them for the idea.

Thoughts about these ones? For the one on the right, I tried a different angle to hopefully give more bird and less bald man.

Ok. I am someone who feels like kbin doesn't really need a mascot at this point in time. It seems really early and tbh the whole thing feels a little forced. Really not into the bird design either. I just don't get it...

But holy shit this new icon on the right has 100% changed my mind.

It is adorable and I'd put that on the first page of my phone home screen, no questions asked.

Well done.

Ikr? Nice short rollercoaster 😂

And now we have a name for the mascot. It's the Early Bird.

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

But why would you lie

Nice plot twist!

This is all open source so let talent do talent and let community decide.

Good "propaganda" is a must tho in digital economy and community sourced and voted product is the way to go IMHO

Lol this is exactly why I held my tongue for the first few of these posts. My first reaction was a pretty strong NO but I thought, let's let this evolve organically and see what happens. Boy was my initial reaction wrong.

Really love this little guy!
