Design experts say no.
In fact, the slight asymmetry is intentional. Perfect symmetry can feel rigid or mechanical. Human faces, by contrast, are never perfectly mirrored. By introducing a minor variation, designers gave the siren a more natural, organic presence. She feels less like a flat graphic and more like a living character.
It’s a clever psychological trick.
Our brains are wired to notice patterns. When something looks symmetrical, we accept it quickly and move on. But when there’s a slight deviation, even a tiny one, the brain lingers. It studies. It looks twice.
That pause increases engagement.
There’s another layer most people miss: the way the siren’s hair and crown subtly guide your eye toward the center of the circle. The flowing lines create a natural visual funnel. Without realizing it, your attention is drawn inward — reinforcing brand recognition every time you glance at it.
