Do you want to say "I'm a Buddhist" ?



Or do you want to say "I'm a space-science kinda guy"?



Perhaps you want to make a fashion statement



Or you might want to share your love of bacon with the world



Maybe you want to attract economists to your posts



Or perhaps you just want to explain what you're looking for in a relationship

Thu May 16, 2013, 06:56 PM

lose quite a bit in translation, it ought to be an uncomplicated image.

Assuming, for the moment, that you are actually serious about this (heh, I know, there's one born every minute) two thoughts, or themes, come to mind.

I seem to recall (I am cursed with a reasonably efficient memory) that your screen name is a play on the Nevada Smith character, and that you in fact currently reside in or near Las Vegas.

So.

Nevada Smith leads to Steve McQueen (no, I wouldn't either) or Harold Robbins or "The Carpetbaggers", which, let's face it, in the second decade of the 21st century is probably too obscure.

Which leaves Nevada generally, and Las Vegas particularly. When I think of Nevada I think of geography. Which doesn't shrink down to avatar size all that well.

But Las Vegas has any number of graphically uncomplicated images / icons associated with it. Pick one, either current or retro. Could be a NUDET, a pair of dice, a martini glass, a glam chorus gal, the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, a long shot of "The Strip", a b&w simplified shot of the old "Rat Pack", an "above" shot of a blackjack table, etc, etc, etc. Lots to pick from, and you could switch them in and out and still stay on theme. FWIW.
