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.
Pt.2 of the Kbird mascot. Thoughts on these two designs?

And now we have a name for the mascot. It's the Early Bird.
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!
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
Definitely the right one! Exactly what I wanted with the last poll!
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. 🤣
This is 100% doable, but probably not worth the effort.
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.
Definitely the one on the right! Fun, clean, attractive
Maybe I'm missing context, but I'm not seeing the "bald man" image in either of these. I see that avoiding it is the reasoning behind the right one, but I have to say that I feel a greater appeal towards the left image. Just seems more happy and bright (not in color, as they're the same colors, but in mood from the tilt of the head)
That said, I don't mind the right. Just prefer the left.

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.
