I love the mark 1 Michael Keaton Batmobile, by far and away, the best one they ever did, barring the Tumbler, (But if one checks out the silhouette if the tumbler on the rooftop in Batman Begins, it resembles the familiarity of the silhouette the one in my avatar.

That was always my favorite Batmobile too.  :)

 

Mine just graphically represents my name: "Matt".  LOL

Mine is pretty self-explanatory, I think. I need to make a clearer version of it, but so far couldn't be bothered.

 

It's clever and still makes me giggle even after all these years, so I've never changed it. Plus, that song is so darn catchy.

 

*hums and hammer-slides offstage*

I've always liked yours.  LOL

Oh Lord, I've got that song stuck in my head now. I remember getting that CD in 1990 when I was 5 years ago. I actually still have the CD too so I guess I'll go rummage in my storage now to find it and rip it in FLAC. =\

Well back when I played Runescape I had the username "NinjaGrinch" which lead me to use Grinch where I could for a username (GitHub, Neowin, etc). I figured what picture would be better to go with my name than the Grinch himself?

Hello,

Candice SWANOPEL

Thank you :)

I wish more people showed who they are instead of using a random image.

Not that there's anything wrong with random images, they still show a bit of who you are.

Privacy :) I dont want Neowin to know who I am. If they did, I wouldnt care much but Im not a sharer of information.

Why are people in this thread posting "Mines needs no explanation". Its a thread about explaining your nick. EXPLAIN IT. :rolleyes:

Mine is the clock gadget from the Windows Vista sidebar. The time of day shown is not significant.

I gave up using the sidebar shortly after I made this avatar. :)

Imagine making a gif showing the time at your location :)

Mine is from my favorite movie, ?Blade Runner? directed by Ridley Scott, based on the book ?Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?? written by Philip K. Dick that wrote other novels/short stories that were made adaptations like ?Total Recall?, ?Minority Report?, ?Next?,  etc.  My username is the badge number of the main character and the avatar is the police logo used in the movie.

February 2014 Avatars & Signatures-

We've brought back our Avatar & Signature Thread (we're going to see how the participation goes...)

 

Below are the forum guidelines for member signature images. Please note that in a lot of cases these guidelines also apply to text based signatures and avatars.

The maximum overall size for signatures is 170px (high) by 550px (wide). This includes text, images, and other signature elements.

File sizes should be no larger than 20 KB and 75 KB. This applies to avatars and signatures, respectively. For signatures, this applies to the combined file sizes of multiple images. Note, smaller file sizes are preferred so please be mindful of our members with slower Internet connections.

 

Below is an example of a signature with the maximum size dimensions:

Inappropriate content includes;

* Too large, or file size exceeds recommended size.
* Pornographic, violent or otherwise offensive images, language etc. This may include racist remarks, slander etc...
* If the avatar/signature is overly distracting, ie. bright flashing colors, animated sigs (i.e. GIF's/Flash)
* Audio. These are distracting for our members, so do not have audio in your signature.
* Your signature may not advertise a competing site or alternative to Neowin, or advertise a commercial venture. Neowin has its own advertising, this is the only acceptable (commercial) advertising on Neowin. This has been an issue lately. Staff are aware of it and will take action against any offending signatures we may see.
* And of course, do not contain links to, or use your signature to link to pages that contain objectionable material. This includes, warez, cracks, pornography, pyramid schemes, referral ID's, ebay listings and requesting donations.
* Please do not include signature links of a malicious nature. e.g. those that crash your browser, trigger popup floods or emulate BSOD's.

It's still the iconic (no pun intended) Dr. Merkwurdichliebe, and he probably won't be going away soon, too. Goes well with some darker parts of my attitude.

 

 


SHOE THE HORSE, LUKE!

 

Of signatures: I prefer unobtrusive small or plain text signatures, which do not take half the screen space, but may still convey some sort of message. For a long time I didn't have any signature whatsoever, too. Current - "shoe the horse, Luke!"- , if it isn't immediately clear to anyone, is a pun on the iconic "use the force, Luke!" line from Star Wars Ep. IV.
