    I like the idea of a kbird.

    I agree with people saying it should look towards the right.

    I’m also fine with the general design idea of the one on the left but if this the final work, I will hard pass as the line work is extremely sloppy. Good for a first draft though.

    Edit: I’m really sorry if this is worded a bit harshly. I really love the idea behind the mascot and the general design language. I just have experience with design, not as a designer but a project manager, so I am sensitive to technical details. Line work and shape language are vague but extremely important parts of logo -or mascot in this case- design. Once the design on the left gets a professional polish pass to finalize it, it should work great.

    I would pay attention to line weight, as they are too skinny right now for the size of the bird, too many sharp corners creating a less welcoming shape language than I’d like, and line intersections aren’t clean, disturbing the flow. The little bump on the back of the head looks a bit like someone gave the poor bird a whack rather than the natural shape of its head for example.
