mega thread Why did you choose your avatar/profile pic?

[Noire Panzer 3,526]

Lyra is best background pony.

[Retired Commissar 305]

I got this avatar because it's Vietnam War, specifically Apocalypse Now.
Because back in 'Nam, they lost cuz they didn't have pones...

[Frostgage 7,975]

Because this is my favorite piece of fan art of best pony.

[PokeBolter 208]

I chose the Silver Belle one because he's my favorite pony and back then the go to picture for anything related to MLP. Also now I really don't know what to change it to unless I found a cooler photo but whenever I search him on Google Images I basically just get lots of Sweetie Belle or even Rarity no really type in Sweepy Belle MLP or Silver Belle MLP and you'll see what I mean.

[LeafFerret 3,382]

I chose Cadance because for some reason I like her. Plus she suits me the most when it comes to my username.

[Frosty Nerd 833]

Twilight is best pony, and I vectored and made this avatar last week. I'm extremely new to vectoring. I'm currently working on an OC design, and I keep improving as I discover new and better tricks and tips.

Why id I choose this one? Because Dashie is awesome and adorable of course!

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

Discord is the best pony   

[Zenit 190]

Its from the Team Fortress Halloween event. I think so. the ghost is wearing a ghostly gibus.(formerly ghastly gibus).

Im having withdrawal from TF2 because I uninstalled it.

[Deae Rising Shine~ 55,280]

I change my Ava everyday, because there are so many awesome Dashie pics in the internet

[Zenit 190]

I change my Ava everyday, because there are so many awesome Dashie pics in the internet

I change my avatar atleast once every week. I always find a better one.

[SveciaDash 364]

I can relate to the deep emotional bond that this philosophical picture represents.

[Jeric 46,851]

Because 'Hot Jupiters' were all the rage when exoplanets started to be discovered ... and I try and use a consistent avatar on all forums and social media that I use.

 

Also, I can't draw for crap so I haven't even thought about an OC Avatar ...

 

And I don't have a Best Pony, because I have Hamlet syndrome with two of the Mane Six.

 

So Gas Giant in a death spiral it is!

[Zhortac 1,474]

Really starting to like Trixie, that's why.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

Cause,Squeegee's freakin hilarious! 

[Guest]

Fluttershy is my favourite pony, plus her expression reflects my inner self quite often.

[insert_username 1]

Because it fits my username. 

I chose my user name because I didn't have any good idea and I found this somewhat funny.

[xXRainbow DashieXx 5]

Because i love rainbow dash thats why

<3 xxx and since i have too many pictures of her it was difficult to choose one so i chose randomly

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Because this is about the most elegant & beautiful Luna I have ever seen; and that is good enough for me.

 

Granted likely won't stay my avatar forever.

[yayayayayala 1,668]

Cutest thing I've ever seen! If you have a deviantART, here's the link so you can stab that favorite button with your cursor's nasty, sharp, pointy teeth. (Oh look, it's the 4th wall calling! )

[Clopinkie 86]

I actually found my avatar before I even signed up- I didn't come up with my hybrid username until a few days later (Clopin + Pinkie Pie). And at least for the near future, I have no plans of changing my username or avatar, so at least I'm happy with them!

[ARGdov 13]

This is the Avatar I use on another forum (I'm still hoping for some old members to be on here). When I first joined, I found the very popular thread on it for bronies and that's how I got involved in the fandom. At the time Twilight Sparkle was my favorite pony, so I chose this avatar. I never bothered to change it, and I still like Twilight, so I figured I would use the same avatar and username when I joined here.

[DiscordedBrony 77]

I chose my profile pic for two reasons.

1) Because my favourite character in the whole show is Discord, and

2) Because of my tendency to speak in an English high class accent sometimes for fun.

 

You know those brits are classy!

One - I wanted a GIF.

 

Two - Pinkie Pie is my favorite pony.

 

Three - Unless my memory is off, the site required a specific size restriction for avatars.

 

Four - Equating all of these, my avatar was the best one available through Google image search.
