It's been two days since I originally posted the final name poll, votes have stopped coming in, and the winner is Kibby!

So, everyone, meet Kibby! Crafted by the community. He is ours! ❤︎

In celebration, I have created a script that changes the default/no avatar (blank) into a randomly selected variant of Kibby! And there are tons, about 25 and more to come.. Thanks for the idea, @sab!

Here is how the script looks in action (sorry for imgur's shit quality lol)

I'd like to say thank you so much to everyone who has given me their time, feedback, insight, and ideas which helped me, together with you all, develop Kibby further into his wonderful finalized version. Especially thank you to @FixedFun who's original design and idea kickstarted this entire process. This was super fun, and I am really happy with how he turned out, and I hope you all are too.

I provided svg and png both with and without gradient, a clean the Adobe Illustrator file, and all of the current Kibby variants!

The inverted version looks like Kibby on drugs. 😅

Welcome, Kibby! Just installed the script, it's adorable! What script are you using to make the icons round btw?

This is awesome! Thanks for bringing Kibby to life for us!

I haven't been following this closely. Is Kibby going to be folded in to the kbin project or into kbin.social?

sorry for not being clear. he is an unofficial mascot, not recognized by ernest, but by the community, or at least as many people who have voted and participated in his development.
