I’m starting a thread about the meaning or significance of your avatar. I’ll start out with mine:
My avatar is a picture of Jerry Doyle, the actor that plays the character of Michael Garibaldi on the scifi tv show Babylon 5. Michael Garibaldi is quite a character, he’s funny but has a really good intutition, which makes him perfect for the job of Security Chief about Babylon 5. He is also quite smart and clever. Anyway I picked Garibaldi as my forum alias and I had that funny picture of Jerry Doyle that I decided to use as my avatar. You can find more info on Jerry Doyle and Michael Garibaldi here:

Mine’s just a Chevy bowtie with some checkered flags thrown in for good measure. No significance, but you can see where my automotive loyalty is…

Mine is a combination of two interests. My appreciation for the Ford Mustang and the TV show Stargate SG-1. It’s actually a desktop wallpaper that I created using photoshop. From there I decided to shrink it down to avatar size. Here it is in full form:
I used Charles Bronson because I liked his style. He wouldn’t take #@$% from anyone. He made some classic movies like Death Wish and The Mechanic, among others. Unlike him I am easy-going.
I like all the Avatars especially Mike’s, alot of creativity involved there.
Mine is the newer AMC logo (1970-1987), I was also trying to get the old AM Script (1954-1969/1970), couldn’t find one small enough.

You’re on windows right? I’ll give you the direct link. You first have to download and install something called GTK Runtime Environment, which can be found here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk%2B-2.6.4-setup.zip?download
After you install GTK download The GIMP and install it, found here:
