Ehhh i can see your point but i still think a Symbol for Kbin, a logo, a mascot or anything is absolutely beneficial for Kbin as a whole. People need a symbol to stand behind, a Simple and Recognizable Symbol for Kbin would benefit Kbin as a whole, not to mention it would give tiny bit of content to Kbin as people will discuss about the Logo, will draw the Logo, stuff like that.
Besides the Current Kbin Logo looks great already
You know, I was debating whether I was in favor or against a mascot but your comments convinced me that we do need one. All hail the bird!
It would drive interaction, admittedly. As a thing apart from the site logo, I think since it would be a lasting symbol that does promote identity, it has to be chosen with care and that's basically impossible to do with kbin. One cannot anthropomorphize a folder, lest we create a horrifying new age version of Clippy. And nobody wants those kind of night terrors.
This probably adds a lot to my dislike of every option I've seen. There really are none that aren't randomly chosen because the artists likes lizards or something, so they never feel like they fit. Like. I don't mind beehaw's hive theme because it's in the name, but I'd mind it here.
Take in mind a lot of magazines still have the Snoo in their icons, if you want migration a simple, oh in Kbin you replace the Snoo with X should be sufficient. This wouldn't be in mind if the Snoo wasn't still so prevalent here.
