I like their happy little face but the body is… weird to me somehow. I feel like just the head would be pretty though.

Oh this is awesome! 
I really like this character. Can it become the official logo / mascot somehow (without computer, etc.) ?

Almost certainly not the official logo (see Aux Logo Selection), but possibly a mascot. We’ll need some artists to make more mascotty/cartoon Auxolotl art… certainly it could be a thing to suggest to artists as a thing people have liked the look of

if you leave away the computers shadow, this could be easily printed onto a tshirt since it’s (from first glance) a single color

I’ll extract it and see how it would look at a smaller size. May work well for a mascot image.

I like this, but for some reason it gives me horror vibes. Maybe the glint in the eye needs to be on the same side instead of mirrored? Or maybe not having a black background, or maybe the frills being smaller? I’m not sure. Its really close though

Before I embarrass myself with my phone ms-paint drawing, this style is more what’s in my head.
If done well (aka not like my render below) A tail with an Aux connection might give the icon a bit of distinction from other axolotl icons on the internet.

Or even something more subtle, like giving it a tail that has the two stripes like an aux cable, or making it have a slight diamond shape at the end, rather than the tail itself being a literal aux cable.

softened the face shape up a bit, then realized it would look better if i softened the rest of the body up to match. what do you think?
(the reason i didn’t go all the way rounded is that some axolotls do have somewhat dome-shaped heads and making the head totally round would have fought with the rest of the body in terms of spacing + energy)

I bumped into this well-designed theming project, offering nice pastel themes not dissimilar to what OMG.lol have as their fun, lighthearted and gentle branding.
The project is esp. nice, since it is crowdsourced and rolling out these color themes over an ever increasing amount of existing tools. Ideal for the purposes of Aux, I thought.
The catppuccin org sits on Github, and they have a fedi account at @catppuccin@fosstodon.org.
(PS. In an old version of the theme they were WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, which an open issue in the current version still)

You really cannot go wrong with all of the catppuccin variants, I’d be happy with any of them.

I’m feeling a notable Ghibli kodoma component in it. Not sure if ghostly is the desired effect. Maybe the face should go more in this direction?

I like it but probably not best for a entirely sperate project. I liked how we were leaning into the pinks and such earlier.
