Set Default Avatars to Husker 'N' Logo

[knapplc]

Addict, I like it, but can you make the background white? The gray isn't doing it for me.

I would also mute the color on the N quite a bit. I think the less obtrusive they are the better.

EDIT - this is my ten-second mockup of what I mean:

I just killed the background and ramped the opacity down to 66%. That may not be an improvement.

Knocked the opacity down to 70% and changed the backdrop to white:

I like it. Good job.

But why does your white look less white than my white? What am I doing wrong? I just used the magic wand tool and selected all the gray, then nuked it. Wrong?

What do you guys think of these?

I like both. For the moment, I've used addicts.

So, folks - preference?

Whoops - I used the board background color which isn't a "true" white. I can change it.

No, the board background color makes perfect sense.

I like zoogies' too. Why did you have to go and make good ones, too, zoogs? Now we have choices, and I'm all out of coins to flip.

AR, is there any way you can set it to randomly assign one of the three - Addict's, or either of zoogies'? That would be cool.

I like the grey version of mine

]I didn't make them, I just made the other ones gray. I think a full color one would look great, but maybe not be too useful as a filler avatar (it's going to be pretty common and seen across a lot of users, so it shouldn't look like a real avatar is in place).

Come think of it that white is going to clash. If we go with that one I think we'll need to tweak the background to get it more in line with the background of the posts.

I like all of these, honestly. If I had to choose one, I'd go with #3 or #4.

Did my post not show up or something?

Here are the grey'd out versions of mine with the board background color:

Not that can think of. I haven't been able to run down exactly in the code where the image is set. Even then, I can't think of a way to automate a rotation.
