I agree the figure is not friendly.
Nor do I like the long feline ears or crafty smile.
Coming from an artistic background, I would recommend the follwoing
(and will get around to implementing them tonight):
- Make it all hard angles -or- Make it all soft edges
= Not both...
- Remove the neck.
- Try to balance visual weight (too much white on left).
- Take a cute rounded monkey face and make a b&w shillouette.
- Instead of using a rounded box background try different
figures or shapes like a gear or a circle.
- Use a two colour layout to add depth/shadow/detail to the
monkey.
I think people won't be happy until you run some type of
contest and choose the best submission! ;)
