I’m a professional concept artist. The worst thing you could say in our field is actually “let’s draw something together”:)
Design by committee results in abominations 99.99% of the times.
I’d say let just people draw stuff if they want and then we pick the best.
I’ve seen Kbeans and I think it’s both funny and useful. Cartoony beans would make a great snoo replacement, both in logo and if Ernest plans on adding an equivalent to reddit’s user snoos.
I thought the cool folder was our icon? Like the whole Linux file system thing
Did Ernest ever explain the origin and pronunciation of the name? While there would be a certain tragicomic open-source poetry in ignoring what he had assumed would happen, it would be relevant information.
Thank you, sir. So the mascot should be an exasperated developer answering the same question one hundred times, then?
Jesus christ that OP is so uncharitable. They came looking for a pissfight and you didn’t give it to them. Bravo.
One of the things that I think made our exodus site so endearing is that we had a cute logo from the start. In that vein, and with many folks thinking about us collectively calling ourselves kbinauts, I thought to make a little logo with a spaceship. What do ya’ll think? Can someone with more skills doctor this up?
Also, for those with their own ideas, feel free to post your own in the comments. Maybe we can settle on one and make it ours. I’d like to start seeing these logos all out in the real world one day.
What about a tardigrade (water bear)? They’re little, scrappy and can survive in space.
