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.
oh wow i didnt expect that turn around in your comment lmfao. i am so happy you guys like it, i just whipped it up expecting it to fail and was like hmm not so bad, let me send it out into the world and see. its great to see positive reactions :D
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
It can’t be done, but I would be tickled pink if the left image was the default icon and the right image was the icon if I have notifications waiting for me. 🤣
As an iOS app icon?
As an icon on the website definitely yes, and since it’s open source, maybe somebody will disagree with you.
I don’t know anything about iOS development. I know it’s possible to add pills to an icon if you have notifications, but I have no idea if iOS gives you the ability to change what the icon looks like. Because we’d be talking about a PWA, the tools may also be a little different.
As for browsers, I actually misremembered how favicons worked. After refreshing my memory, This is actually much less effort than I originally expected. Assuming an instance wanted to implement this, they could just change the link that defines the icon based on the currently logged in user’s number of notifications.
I thought mine had a good shot at being a mascot, but yours is amazing and so cute!
I’m getting real, “It looks like you are searching the fediverse, would you like some help?” vibes from this. Love it!
I must be in the minority here, I think the one on the left looks much cuter.
I just love it, the Kbird never looked so good, I don’t care about credit I just want the Kbird to exist one way or another
