New default avatar

HyperNova35

Support. The new avatar you suggested looks much more modern and nice in my opinion.

Full support. The current avatar is just so blurry.

Have I posted here before?

Support, the old one looks similar in tone to the old IE logo (not to be insulting)~~~~

When you enter the land of suggestions, necroposting is in the rules, unlike other magical forum lands… XD, please mind my weirdness.

This is the current default avatar:

As you can see, it was designed for the old Scratch website, with a light-blue to white gradient. It's also annoyingly blurry.
I propose a replacement avatar that fits well with the new version of the Scratch website. I have created one:

As you can see, it was designed to be simpler, with only the Scratch cat's head visible and no gradients used, and the background is a shade of blue similar to the one used in the website navigation bar. It's also a crisp image, with no blur visible (not counting antialiasing).
For use on the website, I have provided multiple sizes:
100px (a nice round number):
90px (for forum posts):
60px (for studio curator lists):
55px (for display on the userpage):
45px (for comments):
scalable SVG file (resize it however you like, it never gets pixelated): download here.

I have over 100 supporters! Thanks for your support in making Scratch look better!

I like it, but it'd be nice if Scratch made a random avatar from a list of default avatars like Gobo, Pico, Tera, Scratch, etc.

That seems like it would be sort of unorganized-looking.

Support,I don't like at all the old avatar,and your one is simple,like the new Scratch interface.

Flashback to 2013:
@Paddle2See voiced support on this topic.
Obviously, they didn't change it.

I agree. The old icon was great for the old website, but this is 2.0! We don't need 1997 images!

Idea:
Maybe the ST can have a contest just like they did for the scratch news icons. Just a thought.

Lol isn’t your icon like the current icon though?

Support. With 3.0 coming, it would be nice to see some newer looking icons that match the rest of the site.

Whyy? It's not like any other icon will ever win

I'm not sure - there was another idea of having multiple gradient images of different colors and characters (like Gobo, Pico, etc) that you could choose from, and the ability to select your own right from the start.
