I've been looking around for some good login icons (that show up next to your name). Anyone have some they'd like to share? I'm up for anything.. mac related, abstract, warcraft related, but it should be designed for it, (as in either having no border, and no cutoff, or designed with a black border around it so it looks good.) Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Some info, the default icons are in the library/user pictures folder, and they are TIF format, and I believe 48*48.

You can make a .png file as well, I modified an icon I made into a small .png file and it works great.

Ok, I converted some icons by Mindfad (http://homepage.mac.com/mindfad/) and here they are:




EDIT: I changed them to PNG's to lower file size, and color seems better too. I also smoothed the edges a bit.

Right click and select "Download image to disk" to save them. They are 128*128 tifs, but get scaled perfectly and get dropshadows when you use them as user pictures. I'd like to see other users' contributions here as well.

I converted these icons (angry face for "others" users, and big teeth for myself) when they came out into User pics and one time into a BootX logo:

imo that one looks very good as a user picture, especially since it gets a nice drop shadow.

thanks for it

Iconfactory has some good ones (Tribal Masks, for example).

Sure, I removed the drop shadows from all the icons when I converted them, because the user pictures add them automatically.
