New default avatar

Nice idea on the user icon! I really like the new design, and support it, but I was also thinking, maybe there could be a selection of pre-made icons for variety? Just a thought.

I like that idea, but then again, the user icon in the to post already feels good enough. We'll see.

Supporting the new icon,

Awesome! I really hope this gets used!

Edit: I support this 100%

This is actually a pretty good suggestion!

This is a brilliant suggestion! Your revised icon matches the color scheme perfectly and sets a better overall tone for the site. I love how crisp the image is and the simple stylization. I support.

Or you could be able to choose from that, gobo in that style, pico in that style, giga in that style, etc. etc.

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`m trying to, but it gives this crazy code.

@Ireland308

just click and drag the icon to your computer's desktop. You don't have to quote the post to get it.

Support. The current icon is starting to annoy me.

MrKyurem

Supporting this.

OrcaCat

Support.

This is surprisingly appropriate. I support, but placing my username on a list won't help considerably.

PlasticToad

Yeah, I like this!

mathfreak231

I wonder if I'm the first one not to really like this. I'm too lazy to check through.

I think the current default icon makes the site less bland. It's not always a matter of “matching”.

What software did you use for these?

Inkscape, a free and open-source vector graphics editor.

Support, support, and more support. And even more support.
And more support after that.
