Hi everyone, this is my first post on Lemmy, so please excuse any mistakes.
I'm working on a logo to make my Lemmy account more aesthetically pleasing; it will be my profile picture. As the name suggests, the theme of my logo is a mouse and ink. I've almost finished the nose part. I can say that I struggled quite a bit with this project I created using Canva, as I don't have pro skills. Since I didn't want to use pre-made assets, I resorted to overlapping geometric shapes. To be honest, it was very difficult. The problem is, no matter who I show this to, almost everyone sees a Ram or a Goat. I intended it to be a Mouse.

What exactly does this look like, and what can I do to make it look like a mouse?

Thanks you for reading.

Make the outlines for the ears finer and make the lines parallel instead of tapering. The lines not connecting also doesn't help, but since the lines start so much wider at the top of the head it immediately reads like horns.

After posting and reviewing your comments, I examined my references more closely and it's clear you're right. They're too big, we need to bring them down a notch.
