I love Flickr!

Flickr: The social network that has shaped today's world of photography.

The social network that became the best place for image lovers on the internet.

A precious source for photos and visuals.

The home of museums and institutes that offered the world the best image archive on the internet.

Flickr has decided to replace the default avatar used for new accounts. The old avatar (aka “Howdy”) is retiring, and will be replaced with more vibrant options. As part of the upgrade Flickr will be displaying avatars at larger sizes throughout the Flickr product.

The new avatars had to reflect several key aspects of the Flickr products and community:

• Flickr is photo / photography centric

• Colorful - include the use of our brand colors
