This is an impressive roundup of profile Avatars! LOL - when I saw the incoming link (thanks!) I was worried you found my mug shot that I use for digg/stumbleupon and others. Relief set in when I saw the laurel wreath instead. :)
I see and now im sure: Tastes are different
Wow! Some of those are very familiar. Thank you for including mine too! :)
Submitted this to Sphinn and Digg. Also stumbled. This is a great post because we recognize so many of those people as our friends on various sites. It makes me smile. :-)
SU profile in the sig.
Hey! It’s me!
Only I’m either gonna have to get a haircut or a new avatar: no one recognized me w/ my hair up last week!
great post(s) Lisa, thanks for the mention! surprising how many people don’t put much thought into their avatars even with all the focus on social networking these days.
Well, I guess I’ll have to spruce up my avatar. Thanks for the hint!
This is sweet, reminds me of those, Web2.0 logo roundup posts, except better. There are certainly some really creative and out there ones, my favorites are usually ones from people I know. One that I have always liked, that you listed, is Shoemoney’s. For some reason I have always liked that logo.
Wow! Thanks for including me on the list. The avatar I picked is basically how I see myself. :^)
Aloha,
Dave.
Hey thanks for the props. I spent millions on research before I unleashed my self-branded avatar on the world. I am glad it is making such an undeniably huge impact on the world. Money well spent!
