Hi everyone, this is my first post on Lemmy, so please excuse any mistakes.
I’m working on a logo to make my Lemmy account more aesthetically pleasing; it will be my profile picture. As the name suggests, the theme of my logo is a mouse and ink. I’ve almost finished the nose part.
I can say that I struggled quite a bit with this project I created using Canva, as I don’t have pro skills. Since I didn’t want to use pre-made assets, I resorted to overlapping geometric shapes. To be honest, it was very difficult.
The problem is, no matter who I show this to, almost everyone sees a Ram or a Goat. I intended it to be a Mouse.
What exactly does this look like, and what can I do to make it look like a mouse?
Thanks you for reading.


Connect the ears to the head. It looks like horns since the tips don’t touch.
Another reason is the ears get thinner towards the bottom, like horns.
And the ears are hollow. Maybe shade the inside slightly to signify its not empty space (the ear cut isn’t enough)
Ear cut also looks off. It creates a flappy little piece. But that would usually tear off quickly. A cut toward the center, like a slice of pie, but smaller, would look more realistic.
So what color do you think would be suitable for a mouse? I’m thinking of black silhouette color, gray, or andrasite.
Pink
Does pink ink really exist? Maybe navy blue, but I’ve never seen pink.
Most color printers use CMYK, where M stands for magenta (basically pink). It’s one of the most used inks on the planet.
I just ddg’d it

Thanks bro! I will take your suggestions into consideration
