One of the things that I think made our exodus site so endearing is that we had a cute logo from the start. In that vein, and with many folks thinking about us collectively calling ourselves kbinauts, I thought to make a little logo with a spaceship. What do ya’ll think? Can someone with more skills doctor this up?
Also, for those with their own ideas, feel free to post your own in the comments. Maybe we can settle on one and make it ours. I’d like to start seeing these logos all out in the real world one day.
What about a tardigrade (water bear)? They’re little, scrappy and can survive in space.

Kbinauts and kbeans are the names I’ve seen used. I prefer kbinaut and I think it’s growing in use haha.
My first thought is a raccoon after the bin in kbin. Cause that’s where they like to hang out. Maybe a bit undignified, but cute.
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?
Did Ernest ever explain the origin and pronunciation of the name? While there would be a certain tragicomic open-source poetry in ignoring what he had assumed would happen, it would be relevant information.
Jesus christ that OP is so uncharitable. They came looking for a pissfight and you didn’t give it to them. Bravo.
And they still were butthurt about his pfp from Monty Python of all things to angry about.
Maybe a rocket…
I’m still mourning Boost (my reddit 3rd party app of choice for like 6 years), a rocket for kbin would be a cruelty.
Oh! I had no idea! Sorry about that.
I get so dramatic when I need a nap. A rocket would be fine, don’t mind me.
Maybe an animal?
Kbin Koala? Kangaroo? Kiwi? Kinkajou? All good options!
