Now *that's* what I call branding.Only Manchester United has more kits on the go at once... ;)

I have a lot of new ones I am considering.

Note - some of these would need to be resized and/or compressed.

Anyway.. let me know if any of these stand out. :)

[WildCowboy]

Um, yeah...the milk carton stands out. It's making me ill. Can you slow it down a bit?

[Jaffa Cake]

I'd go with the Arsenal tube station. As WildCowboy says, animated 'tars can be a little distracting, and a lot of people already use South Park 'tars so you might not stand out too much with that one.

And there's always the risk that if you use the other one people might actually think you're Jeremy Clarkson. :p

[XIII]

Thanks you two. I find the milk carton a little fast and annoying too. I like the Arsenal South Park one.. still a possibility.. but maybe it will be Arsenal tube station for a bit. :)

EDIT: The JC one rocks! ;)

[Lau]

I must say, the Jeremy Clarkson one does amuse me, in spite of myself. :D

i guess i'll save this one in here for posterity.
Oh I wouldn't about saving that for posterity if you ever delete it just PM me I'm using as my desktop.:D

Nothing to do with him and you(or your 'tar) sharing the same hair-do is it?

That's an outrageous comment! <looks at hair nervously in mirror>

Actually, as a teenager my hair was actually fairly Clarkson-esque at times. That'll be why all the kids beat me up then. :o I have learnt to tame the beast since then, which is fortunate. :D

I have been a member for what seems like forever. How do I earn the right to have my choosen AVATAR show? I don't just want to make lame posts to hit 600. I have read that sometimes exception is given to participating people. Is this true? How can I ask for grace, or what's the best way to get my avatar on here to is shows.

Thanks

I'm thinking of something new myself, since I've had this painting for so long.

I'm thinking something to do with myself, maybe cameras or design related in some way.

Wonderful.

Two design degrees, not creative enough to think up an avatar.

ChrisIf our topics don't entice you to post more often, then YOU should bring up a topic. Start a Community Discussion thread about something that interests you and that we haven't already covered. You'll have more posts before you know it, and you'll add to our discussions.

In the meantime, show your creativitiy in your signature. Or invent an avatar, put it somewhere on the Internet, and link to it from your signature! There isn't even a size restriction if you do it that way (except the limits on the size of a signature).

Figure I would throw mine in this thread too while I'm posting here. Had this one since I could use a 'tar (which hasn't been too long :D). A nice little hanging painting with an apple logo. (And while it's probably too small to make out, the painting is actually a neat little blur picture I took while driving around, NOTE: I was the passenger, REMEMBER KIDS, don't drive and do flash photography!) ;)

That is one of the reasons why it needs a bit of touching up. And the size of the logos need to be equalled out.

And I think it's funny-- back in the day, pink was worn by baby boys and blue was worn by baby girls. Purple was a color reserved specifically for royalty (since the elements needed to make purple dye were so difficult to obtain). Great, now ~Shard~'s gonna think he's royalty.

No memo, just an enthusiastic desire for a contest.

Just to add to that, it was also worn by higher members of the clergy - bishops, cardinals, popes etc for the same reason.

In the guides, it says that you can be given an Avatar for winning a contest even if you haven't reached 500 posts. By the amount that i have posted today, it won't be long anyway.

[devilot]

In the guides, it says that you can be given an Avatar for winning a contest even if you haven't reached 500 posts. By the amount that i have posted today, it won't be long anyway. If and when there is a contest, anyone can submit appropriate images as attachments and in the past, the winner was allowed to use that 'tar even if s/he didn't have 500 posts yet. But if you check the contests forum out, you'll notice that it doesn't necessarily happen all that often (contests).

I just checked... the first contest was held in August 2004. The second one was in May 2006.

[®îçhå®?]

I know, i want a contest to be running. Gives me something to work for. It takes my mind off my exams.

I've used a couple of variants on my 'tar since my last update to this thread, so seeing as it's been resurrected I thought it would be a good opportunity to record them for posterity. :)

There's an animated tribute to Roger Milla's 'wiggle' goal celebration, and the England kit my 'tar wore while on international duty during the World Cup.

[michaelrjohnson]

I've use the same Avatar for about 3 years now... I just refreshed it a few weeks ago (to match my blog (http://blog.michaelrjohnson.com)). I like the idea of users keeping the same (type) of Avatar for long periods of time, because it increases user recognition (in my opinion).

My avatar is the first character in my first name, in my handwriting (with a 45 degree ellipse added). That being said, behold my Avatar. :)

Hey Jaffa Cake, I have kind of a funny story for you. An English colleague of mine walked past my desk just now as I was reading the thread and he says to me, "do you know what that is?", pointing at my screen. Confused, I said,"umm, work?". He then said, no, the little guy on the left hand side. I said, no, it's a figurine, I guess (I'm American, btw). He then goes on to inform me that it is a subbuteo figure (hey, I learned something), and that he was quite good at it as a child. In fact, he played for England when he was 12-16, traveling around Europe. I had no idea! He even has old newspaper clippings of him in his England kit playing against Italians and Dutch in competition.

So, now I more fully appreciate your avatar.

Cheers!

Hmmm... I changed my tar a couple of months ago after getting dizzy for somersaulting for 18 months or so...

^^ What are those other albums...? :)

It's what I was listening to most when I made that 'tar. I figured I could change the big albums every so often when I get a new favourite.

For the moment, it's Goldfrapp's Supernatural, Lisa Miskovsky's Falling Water, Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams and Jose Gonzalez's Veneer - since I also wanted some good 'visual' covers and there were other 'favourites' that just didn't look good shrunk down.

[Sun Baked]

Awhile ago I decided to copycat a bunch of other people's tars.

Didn't think I needed to post it here, since so many people have the same one as I've had since the change.

As you can see, there's a bit of a theme going - I initially planned to change the avatar to reflect my mood - sunny for happy, cloudy/rainy if I was down/annoyed etc, but this proved too much like hard work, and I tend to muddle along in a kind of half happy/half grumpy kind of mood anyway, so the current one stuck.

I used the full sun one when I was trying to will good weather for the London picnic (it worked!) and the thunder cloud for when I had a huge week long fall out with my girlfriend (now fully patched up).

how can i set my avatar?

You need to have 500 posts (http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:MacRumors_FAQ#I_can.27t_upload_an_avatar) for an avatar. It seems like a lot, but doesn't take too long if you stop by regularly.

[ataq]

thank you guys, good to know... i hope that my english will get better with this forum :)

[gammamonk]

I just made a new avatar. I think it's pretty cool, but there is a lot of movement, so some people might think it's annoying. What do you think?

[iMeowbot]

OK, October's over.

Close to 500 posts.... I've been wanting an avatar since I signed up :X

[psychofreak]

How do I get my avatar up?

[MacNut]

So I have changed to Al Bundy.

How do I get my avatar up?
It takes a couple minutes/hours for vBulletin to update your profile. You should have it soon. :)

Some of my current/previous avatars for safekeeping. :)

[TheAnswer]

I've been on here forever, but just never had time to post much.

Luckily, I've recently lost my job and saved up enough that I don't have to look for one until I get to 500 posts. :D

[Jaffa Cake]

It's been a while since I archived my avatar comings and goings for posterity, so seeing as how psychofreak has breathed life back into this thread...

From left to right:

My Bristol Rovers-themed quiet tip of the hat to International Talk Like A Pirate Day (they might be a motley crew of lily-livered lower-league landlubbers, but they're nicknamed 'The Pirates' so it seemed appropriate)
My celebration of the legendary Hull City side of 1937 who stormed their way to 5th place in the old Third Division North
My Raith Rovers zombieatar for Halloween (Raith, Wraith – geddit? Oh, ok then...)
My communism promoting Soviet national team avatar, and...
My capitalism promoting United States national team avatar.


So there you go. ;)

[backsidetailsli]

just got mine recently. i took it from their rock in rio dvd

[Blue Velvet]

My capitalism promoting United States national team avatar.

Oh, is that what it was? I thought it was some dodgy England away strip from the 90's. :D

What's the current one then?

[Jaffa Cake]

Oh, is that what it was? I thought it was some dodgy England away strip from the 90's. :D

What's the current one then?That'll be mighty Scottish outfit Gretna FC. They play in Gretna Green, the famous wedding destination.

I may as well update this thread with my special little red number ;)

I thought it look suspiciously like a German kit. Perhaps a change to make Herr Klinsmann reconsider his dropping out of the race for US team coach. :)

[Jaffa Cake]

I thought it look suspiciously like a German kit.Nope, it was definitely a United States kit.

Perhaps a change to make Herr Klinsmann reconsider his dropping out of the race for US team coach. :)Change into a German kit? I have standards, you know – no German, Grimsby or Sc*unthorpe kits for my Jaffatar™, thank you very much. ;)

[mactree]

I've got my avatar ready... but still a long ways from the 500 :eek:

-- but now that i see it in this context, it's a little annoying. I guess it's a work in progress then.

Very nice...but just a heads-up for you: The mods may consider it a little too similar to Westside guy (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?u=22795)'s avatar and ask you to change it. That said, at your current posting rate, a lot can happen between now and when you actually get to use it. :D

The attached one will have to do until I come up with a new one (the same without pauzes). The first one was attached to a post way back.

I like the multiple tar effect... something that wasn't intended, but does kind of look nice, if I may say so myself :D

Well, there goes the next four hours of productivity for me as I chase the little red dot 'round the page. :(

[redeye be]

happy to be of assistance

[wmmk]

i had a flash icon and a dream theater album for a few hours, changed to the purple bono apple ad, and haven't changed since. i like my 'tar:)

[Cassie]

Mine is a hackshop job when I had windows. I got a Mac Mini pic of of the "net" and added "I heart Macs" in Paint. It's quite simple. Maybe not quite unique, but it's original enough, so that I can easily indentify myself in a thread.

[count chocula]

here's my new one.

[Cybix]

wow, I just made 500 posts! it only took, almost forever!

I dont really have any cool scribbles or art, or random stuff, so I just fired up photobooth and tinkered with my HEAD.

looks like I dont post that much! almost a year has passed

[MacNut]

So I have changed to the lovely Maria Sharapova tar.

[calculus]

I have changed mine to the great TC. I have no idea why.

[ghall]

Well, I'll tell you why I chose mine. Because it's the best avatar ever!

[Zwhaler]

My first avatar was a Lamborghini logo (I cant find the pictures), the second was a black "intel core 2 duo" picture, the third was a musical note, and the forth one is the one I have now, the picture of the Zippo. I plan on keeping it for awhile. I have 4 Zippos and like the way they look :)

If you look closely at my avatar, the bottom and top portion are the world trade centers. But I dont care about that, I just like how it looks with the fire :P

[Thomas Veil]

Mine's from the old Time Tunnel TV show, for no other reason than I got The Time Tunnel DVDs for Christmas and I thought it looked cool.

75x75 doesn't really do the ol' Tunnel justice, though. :o

[thedude110]

This thread needs a "post your avatar as an inline attachment so that when you change it we have some clue of what you're talking about" bot.

[Doctor Q]

This thread needs a "post your avatar as an inline attachment so that when you change it we have some clue of what you're talking about" bot.I suppose I could talk all about an avatar I never had, and everyone will simply think I changed back after posting about it.

<--- See my new avatar? It's a photo of Steve Jobs holding a monkey and tap dancing. I took the shot myself at a very private party at Macworld. Look quickly, because I'm about to change it back. :D

New iPhone Avatar.

For a while, my sig said, "I hereby claim the title of the First iPhone avatar!" And I still proudly hold that title. But no one really cares, so I took it down. :)

[Jasonbot]

Thread revival...

Ok, here it goes. this is my new avatar parodising the current trend in Mr... and Mrs... avatars. If you can't see its a Mr. T avatar in the shape of a T. Its a photoshop thing And I just noticed teh lines are a little underdefined:eek:

[ds.highwind]

Sorry guys.. It may seem to be from a completely another song, but has anybody got avatrs from these series?
http://www.holms.pronet.lt/mac/27777photo64.gif
http://www.holms.pronet.lt/mac/dance3.gif
but without those kittens(first) and not so small(second). If someone has got (or knows where to find) these (or any other "cute" dancing avatars), please forward me there (if it's not difficult for you).

[spicyapple]

My short-lived Hoff phase. :)

[CEAbiscuit]

Thankfully, you've changed back. Your other pictures are a heck of a lot better. :)

Yes please do not go back into that phase. Ever. :)

[Cassie]

Again, another hackjob. I took a red heart, and put text over it.

Yes, I am the creative genius you all know and love, aren't I?

[zap2]

I've had this 'tar for a while, so I guess I'll post it


The 2 are pictures I have saved on computer that I might change my 'tar to one day

[mad jew]

Again, another hackjob.


Eep. Read that wrong. :o

Ok, that's it; no more posting on MR without my glasses!

...Or a spell check.
...Or with using words that I don't even know if they really exist
...Or in front of these people.

I'm really limiting myself....

Ich bin Schnappi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnappi) das kliene Krokodil!

Some crocodile from a German cartoon. The song is sooooo so addicting.

Edit: I found a better Schnappi pic so that's my new 'tar.

[iJawn108]

i love camino... thats about it.:D

[Phat_Pat]

its been awhile...baseballs about to begin soon... sf it is

[zephead]

I found this because a long time ago when I had Windows and used MSN Messenger (:eek:), my friend had this has her display picture, so I asked if she could send it, and she did. I've had this for quite a while before I made it my avatar, but I love it cuz it's random. And I like random humor! :D

[MacNut]

The Sharapova tars continue.:cool: As long as nobody complains.:p

Too bad we now have no idea what your old 'tar was.

*bangs head against wall*

[flyfish29]

So mine is to the left...since it took me 645 posts to actually change mine from the original one I think I am safe having you see my avatar as pictured to the left for a while...probably another 600+ posts before I was even to think about changing it.

It is my son Harry when he was 2. My son IS pretty smart if you ask me so maybe it isn't just a coincidence!!!:D

Can't believe I never saw this thread before.:rolleyes:

Awesome avatar indeed.

[buffalo]

How would I go about making an avatar using PSE 4? I know the limit is 75pix x 75pix, so do I simply find some images resize, and have some fun??? Any special tips / tricks?

[redeye be]

Thx :)

Static tars (jpeg) will rarely - if ever - go over the size limit. So yes, just crop, resize and save as jpeg (or gif, depending on what you want).
Animated avatars can be made with eg imageready. Tweaking could be necessary to get it within size spec.

[pknz]

Hmm I find jpegs tend to easily slide over the limit. But I just reduce the quality.

[Cassie]

I don't know how long this one's gonna last, but I like it. :)

Made a few corrections and attempted a glossy finish a la Apple.

Hmm maybe I prefer the red one actually.
