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.

Hmm in addition to other comments here, one thing that comes to mind is proportions. It's a very large cartoon rounded set of ears when compared to a narrowed, elongated skull. So they don't seem like part of the same piece. Ungulates (eg: goats) have quite long narrow skulls for all those molars.

The thumbnail looked like a mouse and nib to me, but as soon as I saw the whole pice then yeah, could see what you mean. I think if you update the ears to a smaller and more realistic 'rounded wedge' shape, OR round up and 'cute-ify' the skull, they'll match each other tonally.
