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

A logo contest for the userbase might be a good idea. I've been thinking of a mascot as well (the folder isn't particularly endearing) and might post something up. Lemmy's lemming and Mastodon's elephant definitely attract attention and makes the site recognisable.
It also would be a good idea to have an official name for what we call ourselves - Kbinauts? Kbinners?
UPDATE: Here's what I think a Kbeanaut looks like!
I've seen Kbeans and I think it's both funny and useful. Cartoony beans would make a great snoo replacement, both in logo and if Ernest plans on adding an equivalent to reddit's user snoos.
I'm thinking that the design should be open to customization with a basic creator, where one can choose different heads/bodies etc.
Kbinauts and kbeans are the names I've seen used. I prefer kbinaut and I think it's growing in use haha.
