[placement] candidate logo
https://burningchrome.com/magpie2.png
Is the latest iteration of the candidate placement logo. Please shout out if it's not okay. It's been through a few iterations of feedback to get it to a form closer to what we discussed a couple of weeks ago.
For those not aware: The image is of an Australian Magpie.
I have no horse in this race, but that magpie looks... evil. Was that intentional?

i like the image in general but i think the red and the angle of the iris sets the wrong tone. it reads as slightly arragant/sinister
its kind of hard to edit a 640*640 png without and get the quality you would want for a logo but i mocked up a slight change that i think makes it more cheerful and aprochable. i think the rotation of the iris is the main thing.
the more hoizontal placement of the in the origial makes the image look like the magpie si look over its sholder at you where as the more vertical inclanation in my modifed version read less like its stearing at you.
looking at the original because of its stance and the perception its watching you it read more like a raven giving me an edger alan po vibe but i think the modifed version could be a magpie. the cyan/blue tones also read much more like the magpies i am used to seeing https://download.ams.birds.cornell.edu/api/v1/asset/70580781/1800

granted the colouration is mostly on there wings not around there eyes but it is a log after all :)
Lol, had the same feeling about the evilness of the bird.

the ausie magpies do look a lot more sinister then the european ones https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Magpie_samcem05.jp... https://natgeo.imgix.net/factsheets/thumbnails/magpie.jpg?auto=compress,form... but i think the modifcation i made help reduce that.
the logo does look quite like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Magpie_samcem05.jp...
so if the tone is intentional then i think its pretty accurate depection. unlike the australian magpie the European ones dont attack humans.
they would not last long in ireland if they tried unless they evolved to withstand a hurly to the face. swans on the other hand can be vious as hell so if they start heading your direct you get out of there way :) /me gets teh feeling ausie magpies might be more like swans.

It's red because it is an australian magpie, which has red eyes. It is supposed to be somewhat sinister/snarky/bossing-you-about-where-to-place-your-stuff.
An earlier version was even more so, and a smile was added to make it look less so, and that was too much. So this tries to strike a bit of a balance.

If you view the image in a smaller size (which it will often be) the red goes more like a glint.
the more hoizontal placement of the in the origial makes the image look like the magpie si look over its sholder at you where as the more vertical inclanation in my modifed version read less like its stearing at you.
It is supposed to be looking back at you a bit. Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_magpie#/media/File:Magpie_samcem05....

That picture is a European Magpie, completely different bird. An australian magpie isn't really a magpie.

I love it, as is, sinister and arrogant and snarky. Don't change a thing.
well i actully like the proposed one too. just wanted to make sure that you wanted to capture that aspect of its personality in the depiction. sounds like it convayed those charateristic well so if people like it then its fine with me :)
efried .
For those who have never spent an Australian spring getting chased by the damn things, this is exactly what a Magpie looks like.

Although I could understand why this may send the wrong message. Any thoughts towards the Cockatoo? https://www.abc.net.au/news/image/6874144-3x2-700x467.jpg
