Can we have cute icon?

Not bad!
Someone made us a new icon. I think it’s a major improvement.
It’s definitely cute, but would probably work better without the background.
@alyaza@beehaw.org removed the background for us.
It’s not bad in principle but the image needs some cleaning up. I would suggest either an edit of the current icon/logo or a redesign as you seem to be suggesting
Perhaps less colour separation? I mean, the purple and (blue-)green are too far apart to let the two parts of the bee complement each other. And maybe the Bee should not have a stinging pose? That would also fit our “Be(e) friendly” motto better right? To me it is not a big deal though.
And maybe the Bee should not have a stinging pose?
I like it because it shows that we are on the attack.
I’m OK with the colors but some refinement is in order
I would love a cuter icon, the one we were trying to get permission to use, the creator hasn’t responded. We don’t have money to commission yet so it might be a little before we can afford to.
Someone may just make us a better one voluntarily. Maybe, there are artistic people in here that would consider it. Or maybe someone here knows someone who’d be willing to help out?
Props to everyone participated in this! It looks so much better now.
And we got another new one, I see. I kind of like it. It humanises the bee species less then the previous “new one” did, but perhaps that is a good thing. And this one is more clearly a bee (then the “old new” one). It also has all the good elements of the original logo, but without its issues.
Maybe someone’s got an access to DALL-E to generate this logo for us?
