One of the procreate sketches I did while trying to brainstorm how the "reincarnation" of Tweetbot would look like in the form of a phoenix. Wanted the shape of his head to somewhat resemble the "P" in the Phoenix logo. Not looking forward to doing a proper model/rendering in Cinema4D. 😅

why’d you guys stick with the bird motif instead of doing a butterfly, like how ivory used a mastodon/elephant mascot?

Many reasons! Bluesky feels like what Twitter was before suits took over (and the main goal became to monetize), birds still belong in the "Blue Sky", and we thought our app returning as a Phoenix would be a great homage to Tweetbot, but this time with some fire. Also, I don't want a butterfly icon.
