The more you can differentiate the easier it is for me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-37312 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:57:45 +0000 HabesBabe 37312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the blue color would help differentiate, but would also be more cartoony (if that's something you're trying to stay away from). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-37264 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:04:28 +0000 PitBulLover 37264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like the color change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-37138 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:03:39 +0000 daniellemybelle 37138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I definitely second the monocle!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-37088 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:17:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 37088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would be nice to be able to tell you apart at a quick glance, it's a little tricky now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-37075 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:55:11 +0000 Maysprout 37075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if blue is natural for a bee but I agree a change might be good, I can't tell you and Mrs Bee apart at a glance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-37041 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:12:49 +0000 winniebee 37041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Color change would help - I agree that the differences between your avatar and Mrs Bee are so subtle that I still confuse the icons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36606 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:08:37 +0000 mrsjyw 36606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def agree with the PPs that a color change would make it much more distinct from Mrs.Bee's icon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36526 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:55:29 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 36526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! A blue bee would be fun, and I personally love your magic wand and bowtie. But I have to admit, a little colour difference would for sure make it easier to differentiate between your icon and Mrs. Bee's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36524 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:51:20 +0000 Red 36524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to see a more masculine bee. Maybe a brown and yellow striped body with wings outlined in black. Also make the shoulders/torso beefier (maybe a swimmer's V). Oh, and lose all the paraphernalia :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36506 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:02:25 +0000 Mrs. Armbender 36506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it saying it brings to mind blue..nevermind, just no.

I say go for the top hat, moustache, monacle... just keep going til you're one big black blur. ;)</p> <p>I do think a tint would be good! or maybe a blue cloud around you or something instead of the wand. Something very noticeably different from Mrs. Bee at first glance. </p> <p>Maybe you should be upside down. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36447 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:25:34 +0000 Wondermommy 36447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How 'bout a pair of glasses? Or a monacle, a la Jiminy Cricket. Too cartoony? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36397 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:14:20 +0000 Clementine 36397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, it's been confusing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36326 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:38:43 +0000 BSB 36326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You want to be like me??? </p> <p>Haha. Are you talking changing your bee to a bluish tint or maybe adding a blue background? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36323 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:35:19 +0000 chopsuey 36323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you think about spelling out MISTERBEE instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36281 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:01:14 +0000 pelikila 36281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isn't there another member that has a blue bee icon (bluestriped bee)? I know her avatar is very different from yours but the coloring would be similar. Have you considered another color or is blue your favorite? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36214 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 06:26:39 +0000 Andrea 36214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a different color bee would definitely help rather than just adding more accessories. Just adding accessories would still probable be too subtle of a differential. Can we see some examples and then we can give our opinions just like how you've done with some other things like the tagline? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36205 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:58:47 +0000 twodoghouse 36205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think turning your icon blue would alleviate the problem once and for all! I admit that even having the differences pointed out, sometimes I read a response from your or Mrs. Bee and thing "well that's weird..." and then realize it was the other person commenting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36191 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:00:08 +0000 Rosie Girl 36191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about glasses? Or a bigger bow tie? You aren't as big as Mrs Bee, or have as dark of wings, maybe you need to be "seen" more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36190 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 01:57:34 +0000 Rosie Girl 36190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would Mrs Bee do a bow on her head? I would have to see a blue bee to be able to better judge. I'm having a hard time picturing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36159 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:43:34 +0000 Boogs 36159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say lose the wand. I don't know why, but when I see it my brain automatically thinks it's Mrs. Bee instead of you. Plus, it seems more on the cartoony side. I'd be interested to see what the blue tint would look like... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36156 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:40:28 +0000 mrbee 36156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sha: Never!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36154 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:37:03 +0000 Sha 36154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>and you have a bowtie already...so might as well go the full mr. peanut :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-considering-turning-my-mr-bee-avatar-into-a-blue-bee-thoughts#post-36146 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:25:48 +0000 mrbee 36146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: We're going for a more natural vibe with the icons... less cartoony?</p> <p>I realize that I've completely lost the moral high ground by discussing a blue bee.
