GitHub replaces Identicons with generic avatars for new users
Original: GitHub now uses a generic avatar instead of "Identicons" for new profiles
GitHub has stopped generating its distinctive Identicon avatars for new profiles, opting instead for a plain generic default image. The Identicons, the pixel-symmetry patterns long tied to the service's visual identity, will no longer be created for newcomers. Some users are lamenting the loss of a quirky piece of internet design history, while others see it as a minor cosmetic change.
Why now: A familiar and beloved piece of GitHub's visual identity has been quietly removed, prompting nostalgia and debate.
