    I like the recommendations, but I think the logo should be less generic. I threw this together quite quickly, just wanted to get the idea out there:

    Any feedback? It does look a bit off currently

      Wow nice work! I would be happy with that one too.

      If anything the face is just a little too high. I wouldn’t make the face perfectly centered because the eyes would be too low. Maybe bring it down the thickness, or half the thickness, of the black lines.

          I like the idea (and it’s very cute!), but it feels a little busy. I think that could be solved by simplifying the book shape, if you’re down to give that a shot (feel free to ignore me, ofc). Two suggestions to try, not sure if either will work:

          • Get rid of the inner black line and the orange, and use a single black line down the middle for the crease instead. If the book shape isn’t strong enough at that point, you can always try thickening up the edge, or coloring the whole shape.
          • Alternatively, remove the black outline (and the orange fill) entirely (apart from a center book crease), and just have the ears, nose, and whiskers (maybe also eyes?) be a different color. Let the book be the highest contrast shape, so it’s obvious.

          EDIT: Ok, look, I was impatient to see what it could look like, so I did it myself. (I may have gotten a little carried away.)

          An updated version of a logo by @Mem@discuss.tchncs.de, of an orange and white book-faced lemming on a purple-blue background.

          @Mem@discuss.tchncs.de, YOU DID SO GOOD! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS.
