A lot of people have been saying that text makes the space more cluttered, but honestly I prefer profile pictures that have some text in them, or a letter. It makes it more recognizable.
people tend to make avatars cleaner and focus only on a specific character so that the degree of emphasis is the highest. if text is not used, the character could have more space and hence more focus will be implemented on the character. but these are just general ideas though, everything depends on your personal preferences alas. it should be fine as long as you feel comfortable with the overall design of your avatar.Scioness wrote:

Listen, I'm not actually a fishman, okay?Green Platinum wrote:
2. Make it personal. An avatar is a visual representation of yourself so it should say something about you.

I've done it. This is officially my peak in the osu! community. My avatar getting recognized as high quality by the one and only abraker.abraker wrote:
High Quality Avatars:
These are just eye catching, making it easy to identify a person to. Either something sticks out or something isn't right, but it got your attention and you get who it belongs to burned into your memory.

Well, let's be real. Anyone rating Ephemerals or Toms avatar as HQ can't be taken seriously anyway.Momi wrote:

I like my avatar to be clean and clear.
No disturbing name tag.
No weird edits.
No fancy borders.

4. Use the space meaningfully. No text or borders as they waste it.

IKR. But in all seriousness though a good avatar is usually something that is made by the user himself, or is something that is truly unique and incorporates what makes you you.abraker wrote:

Except that you can't possibly pick an avatar that is not "you". You can go ahead and pick a blank white image because you're some nonconformist, or just pick some character from a game / anime etc., which you do because you either like or identify that character, just like you'd pick a blank image probably because you want to be different and special.dedKK wrote:

Liking something is always based on, well, you. Just like being able to identify with a certain character, so that's that.

It just depends on eye of the viewer. Other then that. every avatar is good avatar in its own way.

Just boring post-modernist stuff now.

5. The background and the character should have a certain contrast so the character is more distinguishable and generally more visible. The character should be the thing that stands out after all. A girl with green hair on a green and yellow background doesn't look very good.
