Hi everyone, this is my first post on Lemmy, so please excuse any mistakes.
I'm working on a logo to make my Lemmy account more aesthetically pleasing; it will be my profile picture. As the name suggests, the theme of my logo is a mouse and ink. I've almost finished the nose part. I can say that I struggled quite a bit with this project I created using Canva, as I don't have pro skills. Since I didn't want to use pre-made assets, I resorted to overlapping geometric shapes. To be honest, it was very difficult. The problem is, no matter who I show this to, almost everyone sees a Ram or a Goat. I intended it to be a Mouse.

What exactly does this look like, and what can I do to make it look like a mouse?

Thanks you for reading.

I can see a mouse but I bet if the ears were modified to connect at the bottom, it would get rid of the goat that some are seeing. They're seeing horns instead of ears. Maybe make them smaller and shift upwards so they can connect at each end? Currently, they're disproportionately large for a mouse but more suited to an elephant.

Agreed. I think moving the eyes or attaching the ears differently would make the ears look less like horns. They're currently connecting right where the cutouts for the eyes are which makes them look more horn-like.
