The Buffalo Sabres decided to change their logo in 2006, and my avatar is a fan submission that didn't make the cut. I changed the colors to red & orange, you know, to represent chicken wings! Even though I moved away after college, the logo still symbolizes my love for all things Buffalo.
I could change it to a million other things, but I find it annoying when people change their logos. I mostly notice people by their avatars, not their pinside handle. So I've never changed it. Plus I think it catches your eye.
Let's go BUFFALO!
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I enjoy beauty.
Bring back the smoking baby Art! That was my favorite avatar. Also my avatar would be the fiend skull but gryszzz has it
Quoted from jlm33:Mine comes from this: http://massivedynamic.com
(remember the TV series "Fringe")
As a rogue scientist, I can identify myself with Walter Bishop, except I do not have a cow in my lab. Yet.
Super cool! I love this series... Got the complete blu ray collection myself!
True story:
Years ago when we were asked to create an avatar, I wasn't familiar with the term. (wasn't familiar with the term Key Fob either)!
Anyway, when the movie came out and they asked for an Avatar, I thought they wanted everyone to make up a version of themselves from Avatar. So I did that. 
My new avatar is just my feelings in a few of these Threads! 
First pin I ever bought. Still have a special place in my heart for Strange Science even though it's cheesy. Gameplay is fun, neon topper is special, and the hand drawn Greg Freres artwork is great.

You can always use a variation...
Quoted from AlexSMendes:You can always use a variation...
Could but the classic is best. I like changing mine up anyways.
Quoted from mkecasey:I'm a big Milwaukee Brewers fan and the ball and glove logo is the best logo in sports. Some may not be aware but the logo, although intended to look like a ball and glove, also features a lowercase "m" and "b" for Milwaukee Brewers.
I live in Milwaukee and have been attending brewers games since I can remember. I think I was 20 before I figured out the glove was also an M and B!
My current one is grumpy cat inside a dalek body, both have seemingly similar demeanour's but both are just misunderstood.....bit like clowns really Pennywise has a lot to answer for 
Mine is "The Arsonist" by Clive Barker.
One of my favorite pieces that i got a cheap print of many years ago. Now that i have a bit more disposable income, i would love a larger, nicer print, but they are fairly hard to come by now.
I've used it as a primary avatar on various sites for as long as i can remember. Although, now I'm pretty sure pinside is the only remaining site I'm on that even needs an avatar any more. 
My current avatar is of the alien powered 64 Chevy Malibu from one of my favorite movies, Repo Man, 1984.
It's 4 am, do you know where your car is?

I would enjoy playing a Repo Man pinball machine, as long as there are no aliens inside the main cabinet.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati. Moved to Indianapolis for college and have stayed ever since. I love IPAs.
My avatar is a special collaboration IPA between Sun King in Indianapolis and Rhinegeist in Cincinnati called Emergency Hop Kit. Man it was a good brew!
The obvious Atari logo wearing "Maverick" era aviators with the cockpit window from the Millenium Falcom in the background, just something I whipped up, for this site, in photo shop. Some of the things I enjoyed most from days gone by.
Quoted from starfighter:Mine is from the movie The Dark Crystal.
It reminds me to always keep my spirit up when I know I'm right and everyone else thinks I'm wrong.
Actually, your avatar of the kid on the giant dog is from The Neverending Story, a classic kids film
Toronto, ON
Quoted from goatdan:I threw in a picture of my other son, Elias, age 2 in this picture and still age 2 now, enjoying playing an arcade game since Ben shows up way more often.
With that haircut and the lights illuminating his face he kind of looks like the kid from “Close Encounters” movie poster!
Quoted from TheLaw:Filthy sword trick area from pinball magic I was shopping at the time.
I don't believe in changing avatars so I guess this will be it forever.
I have always liked your avatar because for the first 6 months or so I was on pinside I thought it was a happy face sticking its tongue out at everyone.
Then I realized the “eyes” are hardware. Still looks like a face to me though!
Quoted from c508:With that haircut and the lights illuminating his face he kind of looks like the kid from “Close Encounters” movie poster!
Nice! Never even thought about that. He's pod racing, and I always thought he looked a lot like young Anakin.
My friend works at Lucasfilm and got me a worn-in-the-film Stormtrooper helmet. I used to keep it at my desk. I used to put it on while working once in a while just to screw around and my coworker would always laugh to see me working on reports with the helmet on, so she took a picture of it and captioned it with "I'm a professional" and sent it. So there it is.

Wow, it makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only person to think this. I thought i was crazy for a bit.
Quoted from Joe_Schmoe:Not my first choice. Apparently my option #1 (at the bottom) is too small.
Right click the picture and picking "search google for image" pulls up a few larger versions. eg. https://dekennisvannu.nl/thumbs/i/3000/mod_media_image/3130.w1200.r16-9.7d32982.jpg

my take on an alt translite for Genesis
Quoted from Dayhuff:Speaking of which....is there any way to see just the avatars of all Pinside members all at once and scroll through them? I want to do one for myself but I don't want to copy what someone else may already have.
Thanks
John
Anyone??
*looks at handle*
*looks at avatar*
*shrugs*
Yeah, kinda went full-on with the theme, there.
Maybe I'll broaden my avvie horizons one day...but not today.
Quoted from Dayhuff:Anyone??
Looks like the image urls are random so unless there's a magic page somewhere with them all, no.
A few years ago I was driving home after work one day and saw something frantically jumping (and failing) to get over a three foot high concrete barrier that separated a state highway from a sidewalk. There was no more than one foot of space between the car tires wizzing by at 50 mph and the base of the barrier. It was a little kitten no more than one pound soaking wet and was one of the most pitiful things I've ever seen. After stopping in traffic and a getten bitten by some of the sharpest teeth my fingers have felt, I am now the owner of a cat, Wendy (if anyone ever told me I would have a cat at the age of 35, I would have said you're crazy). She is the most affectionate little thing and she stole my heart. She also likes to chase the pinballs under the glass when I play and knows that they always come out of the shooter lane.
Here is a pic of her with my dog Ernie.
Quoted from crwjumper:From one of my 1,270+ skydives. Sometimes I like to use this one of me about to jump out of the plane but when it’s small it just looks like a storm trooper.
I miss my skydiving days.... 
Lucky to live in the skydiving state

I think it was RareHero who drew -exactly- what I always imagine TheLaw's avatar to be. Anyone have that handy?
There is no Avatar for the elusive,Hawkmoon!! He moves silently,invisibly,blending into his surroundings unnoticed! watching,listening for the rumble of discontent to arrouse his senses!He is the one unseen who you thought was there a second ago,but,no,just a wisp of something you can't quite explain!!!Peace and equality!!Ordered to take human life by his Government,now throws off any authority other than the one dictated by him!!
I dont know why i picked mine.
Any guess on which game its from?
Hint, back glass has big tits.
My name...well you cant change it now, but at the time it was all i could think of. My name is Eric, and im a pinball fan.

What’s that Bally one about trucks — truck stop?
I’m another pinsider who never looked closely at TheLaw s avatar and always thought it was a face of some sort LOL — did most people think that??
Mine— was helping my friend move his pins and saw this — thought it would make a cool avatar. I’m sure a number of people know the game. Prior to that had the Escher sketch with looking in a large pinballish ball bearing.

Winner- Great game! The Bally/Williams Merge. Defining moment for the future of DMD games.
