The proposed logo is updated.
What's new:
- it has eye balls.
- more rounded face.
- more rounded ears.
- more visible whiskers.
Cheetah is a member of cat big family. So, of course it will look like a
cat or kitten. Nothing I can do about it.
Are there more suggestions? Thank you.
Please look at the lazarus logo/icon. It has no whiskers.
It looks much more like a cheetah, not like a kitten.
So you can do something about it: remove the whiskers.
As an exercise I have done the job for you. See here:

It's of course better to improve the original, I am not an artist.
(I even would get rid of more elements, but let's start with this)
If we're talking branding anyway (a subject I loathe),
then a logo should represent the company/product group, whatever.
So, the FPC logo should exhale maturity, strength, prowess, self-confidence.
Hardly things one associates with a kitten.
FPC is an open-source project dating back to the days the word "open source"
did not exist. So maturity is important.
Using marketing/branding talk:
Given that I think your version looks like a kitten,
you will understand that for the reasons explained above,
I would not want to be "associated" with the logo as you proposed it now.
Michael.
