I'm no artist, but I thought Kbin could use a mascot. Shall we all create one together?

  • I'm no artist but my vote goes towards the mascot being some sort of alien (or maybe astronaut?) with a gun. the gun to match the karabin source of the name, the alien to match the "kbinauts" moniker.

    • I've been wondering where "kbin" came from. So it's confirmed that the original Polish version is supposed to be named "rifle"?

      • So I just stumbled upon one of ernest's comments about it. Yes, the polish instance is a play on words referencing a rifle. however it seems the original "kbin" name actually stems from unix's "sbin".

        I guess in the end it ends up being a double reference?

          Oh so THAT'S why it's stylized as "/kbin" on kbin.pub. And why the logo kinda looks like a folder. Interesting!

          That makes a lot of sense! I really like that reference and how the logo is stylized as a forward slash
