6. I hope that's a joke
maybe an avatar of each in one of their stupid expressions would suffice.

8. College logos
The avatars here have the pro teams represented but not the major colleges. They are prevalent elsewhere.

17. Custom icons available
I trust you know that you can create your own icon/avatar graphic for anything you like.

Personally, I think an avatar featuring the distictive tattoo of one of DU's most rocking (and recently absent) participants is the way to go. :)

21. The great I say, the Great Foghorn Leghorn
Chicken little would be nice too, that is if it would not be too much trouble. You could like, just think about it, in your spare time of course. Perhaps we could start a petition, I've been practicing a few poses you know and well if you ...um wanted to see them well then I will get someone to help me post them. Of course there may be that silly little contractual dispute with Disney Studios but they seem like a nice bunch of guys and if I had that petition well um er ...just think about it ok? You will think about it right? Ok then it's settled, we are all thinking about a Chicken Little Avatar...it doesn't have to be too fancy ya know....
btw welcome to the big DU UndergroundRadical. Way cool name, surprising that nobody thought it up earlier.

22. ha, i got one...
Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 02:06 AM by petersond
I got an icon of a Red Calvin, pissing on a rock, with the words "plymoth rock" written on the rock....the calvin is red, with a feather band around his head....you know, like the other calvin decals i see, with him pissin on the Ford, Chevy, Dodge..etc logos?
That icon would be great...but it probably won't fly around here.

25. Why work in the theoretical? Why ask "what WOULD be good"?
Why not just ask "What ARE good ideas for new avatars"?

It would save a step, that's for sure.
