Choose A New Avatar for Scott

by Scott Ellis on July 29, 2010

in News and Info,Uncategorized

So lately Cali and John & Gio have given me a little crap about my new avatar, Dave thinks I look like Lex Luthor (bah!). No doubt it’s a great picture taken by Leigh Cariccoli so it’s not an affront to her awesome photography skills (you should seriously hire her for an avatar shoot if you can) but rather it’s me, they say I look mean. Ok ok… maybe, but then I kind of like it!

Either way, since “bizarro-evil” Scott doesn’t come around [all that] often, I’ve decided to throw it out there and see what everybody thinks. Since this is spur of the moment I’m not going to get terribly technical about this, I’m just going to post the options in there and let you decide.

Just leave a comment with the number from the image you think makes the best avatar in the comments below. If you think more than one will work then list them in order. I’ll close the comments at the end of the weekend and tally up the results and use that new avatar.

No, I don’t smile a lot in photos and most of these were taken on a very bright sunny day hence the sunglasses.

B. Smiling Scott
C. Black & White Scott (a.k.a. Floating head Scott.

I'll add a vote for 4. Very album coverish.

Well, I'd love to see a smiling photo (like the one you use on this site, hint hint), but I guess I can't get my way all the time! ;)

I totally get the need for a change of avatar, so…

I like #2

Thanks Cali… I only ruled that one out b/c I had it for so long and wanted a change!

Smiling is a definite necessity.

1. – Get outta my face Scott
2. – Blair Witch Scott
3. – Paparazzi photo Scott
4. – Michael Stipe (REM) Scott
5. – Starsky & Hutch Scott
6. – Maverick or IceMan (Top Gun) Scott

The long and the short of it is you're beautiful in all of them… But 6 looks “cool”.
