I'm no artist, but I thought Kbin could use a mascot. Shall we all create one together?

I've been wondering where "kbin" came from. So it's confirmed that the original Polish version is supposed to be named "rifle"?
So I just stumbled upon one of ernest's comments about it. Yes, the polish instance is a play on words referencing a rifle. however it seems the original "kbin" name actually stems from unix's "sbin".
I guess in the end it ends up being a double reference?
Oh so THAT'S why it's stylized as "/kbin" on kbin.pub. And why the logo kinda looks like a folder. Interesting!
yup that seems to be it. mystery solved
That makes a lot of sense! I really like that reference and how the logo is stylized as a forward slash
