Okay hear me out for just a second…
This is the right approach. Create the mascot with some uniquely identifying features (looks, shape, color scheme etc) first and then make a logo / icon out of it. The OP is a generic looking white parrot head on a purple background. Better to make the mascot purple to fit the purple folder logo.
I like it, I’m down for collaborating all together, it should be like that, that’s the spirit of the Fediverse
Thanks, it was just a remix of the two images, I thought might be kinda funny/quirky. I claim no ownership of this idea / design feel free to use it if you like (might make it my kbin app launcher icon thought!)
Have fun with it! for what it’s worth, I like the idea of a mascot but maybe in the more semi official way tux <-> Linux
Thanks for the fun idea really nice community here.
