    An avatar is a small logo, used to represent your personality. Like Boredasmustards, his is well, umm..creative. It depends how you want people to know your virtual person as.

    Avatar is a word from the ancient Sanskrit and refers to a highly evolved incarnation and can also mean 'teacher' or 'mentor'. Unfortunately, it has been hijacked by the nerd herd to denote a personal sigil (a more accurate term) or cartouche.
    Harii om tat sat. Om shanti.
