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.

    design the logo without color. add color, if necessary, to the finished logo.

    get up and look at your logo from a distance.

    turn it upside down and look at it again.

      Always check to make sure you haven’t just made a swastika or a penis. For whatever reason design naturally devolves to either a swastika or penis if you aren’t paying really close attention.
