2D vs. 3D: Which Mascot Fits a Dental App Better? 🦷

Medical apps can sometimes feel cold or intimidating. While designing a mobile app for a local dental clinic, I wanted to create an experience that feels welcoming, trustworthy, and less stressful.

One idea was to introduce a friendly tooth mascot throughout the booking flow and appointment journey. Now I'm deciding between two visual styles.

🩵 Option A — 2D

Clean, minimal, and lightweight. It blends naturally into the interface and keeps the focus on the user experience.

💙 Option B — 3D

More expressive and playful, adding personality and visual depth.

If you were designing a modern, family-friendly dental app, which direction would you choose?

👇 Vote in the comments! I'd love to hear not only your choice, but why.

Which logo feels stronger for a marketplace called GumCircles? I'm building GumCircles, a marketplace where Gumroad creators can showcase their products and affiliates can discover products to promote.

Which logo would you trust more as a brand?

I'd love to hear why you chose V1 or V2. Your feedback will help shape the final identity. 🙌
