I refined FixedFun's mascot design for Kbin. Thoughts? Feedback? (More pics/alts in post!) (media.kbin.social)

I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo.

Here is some alternatives as well as a phone screen mockup
Here is Fun's next to mine

As the kbird, maybe his name could be Ben, or Bin, or Binny the bird? Binjamin is pretty hilarious

details: font is poppins. program is adobe illustrator.

UPDATE: Thoughts on this one?

Nice! Personally I think a stroked edge (with the border being the same color as the beak) and a black eye helps in making the logo pop when scaled down amidst a sea of phone app icons.

I also tried out a rounded base to avoid the parallel lines between the bottom of the base and the mascot itself, which are a lot more obvious with the border in place.
