Well - now that I'm allowed an avatar I think I'll start off with this.

bet your doctor wet himself when he found out you had an apple logo in your head😀

Oh yeah, it's very rare apparently. I'm appearing in all new Radiology textbooks as a result.

It might be a bit hard to read when it's shrunk down to avatar size.

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.

I want to win a contest!!!!
Uh, did I miss a memo?! What contest? 😕

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.

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.

I've always liked yours, ~Shard~, even with the color changes. I'm going back to my beginnings until I find something that does it, for me. <shrugs>


Thanks, I’ve been using it for quite a while now. Perhaps when Season 4 starts this summer though (hopefully?) I’ll go back to my Harvey Birdman avatar again. 😎

I did spot yours earlier and notice the colour change – I thought with that purple look your 'tar might be trying to better David Blaine's breath-holding feat.. 😛

Hey yeah, whatever happened with that? I only heard about it, never read any details about it...

How very metro-sexual of you ~Shard~.

I mean, purple is the new pink, darlings.

You know it! 😀 Nothing wrong with being metrosexual... 😎

max_altitude said:
Oh I totally agree! Looks stunning ~Shard~, simply stunning!
*air kisses for all* mwah mwah mwah 😀

No really , I do like it. Purple is my favourite colour! 😉 😎

And I’m glad you approve as well! 😉

Ye Gads! Now everytime I think of ~Shard~ I'll have an image of a one-eyed purple head in mind.
Worse still everytime I see my one-eyed purple head I might think of ~Shard~!!

I can assure you that was not my intention. 😱 😉

And thanks for the compliment devilot

No idea. I think they fished him out after a while, great pillock that he is. 🙄
 
had to surf this thread because its my 500th post w00t... got some good ideas and found one i like...
 
Thanks for making the thread, Lacero!

The first on the left below is what I'm currently using. The ones to its right are also cousins I like.

For those who don't know what these are, they are cousins from the PS2 game "Katamari Damacy" and "We <3 Katamari."

Their names, from left to right:
Shikao, Lalala, Ace, Foomin and Fujio.

They have bodies, just not in these icons. 😉

I've always since post 500 had my current. White Apple on black. I think Dreadnought has the same 'tar, but it looks slightly different.😀
