The Profile Picture

Nina Gray on Profile Pic

Recently, I had a thought to change my profile pic but then it just dawned on me that I largely rely on the profile pics of bloggers to recognize them. Its this icon that usually draws me to their talks or blogs. Its the one thing that uniquely identifies the blogger and their blogs!
I really didn't realize the impact of changing profile pictures. So for now I have decided to keep the same profile pic.

What would you do? Would you ever change your profile pic?

Well, I definitely relate your profile pic to you Nina. Whenever I see a large yellow sun I immediately think it's you. So yes, profile pics are very important.

Yes RPD. In fact there are many a times when I have stopped by websites only by noticing familiar profile pics. And whenever I see The English Bulldog, I always know its you! So would you ever consider changing it?

Yes, I'm looking for another bull-dog face but my drawing is not good enough. Maybe someone reading this will draw me a nice simple bull-dog that I can use, free of charge of course.

I just crossed one of the talks titled 'Free logo for your blog' http://bloggers.com/talk/free-logo-for-your-blog_9272
maybe you should write to him/her :)

Thanks Nina, I think I saw it earlier and was wondering if it was a recent talk but I'll take another look.

I never really thought of it like that, however I don't really change my picture even on my personal facebook etc.
I usually think of a profile picture being of yourself so others can relate a face to the words.

Hi SweetnessD,
I guess its good not to change profile pics often. I always recognize the profile pic faster than the name itself.
I am not sure if I will ever post a picture of myself on the net. Just call me old school :) but my current one kinda represents me (always bright and smiling, burning nevertheless!)

Sweetness, Nina, and RumPunch if you change your pics I won't be able to recognize you all!

Nina Gray ∙ 11 weeks 2 days ago

yes Phil, now am so used to my pic that i am worried if I will be able to recognize myself if I change my profile pic :D
