Batty or Cutie: Which Avatar Shall I Use?

`splat:iconsplat: Jun 8, 2004, 7:09:41 AM
My current avatar, originally designed by `liquify and then edited by myself, has been my longest ever here at deviantART. The batty is widely recognized and very nifty looking.

At the same time, I've used the Cute Deviant avatar `warfish designed for me quite a bit as well. They both suit me, but which do you like better?

I think I prefer the Cutie, but the batty is more well known. Maybe I should create a new avatar and use that?

The Batties rule all.

The Cuties are pretty awesome as well...

You could swtch between them, as I do :shrug: every 2 months or so

Being honest, I like your Batty more than your Cutie. I don't know. Maybe it's because I got used to seeing your green Batty everywhere more often than the Cutie? But still, Batty is the right choise in my opinion. However, it would be very interesting if you created something of your own.

:)

I also like `blackzer0's idea.

You're bored with the batty, yes?

I sugest you edit the batty into a diferent stance and use that.

I personally like the batty the most, out of all of the avatar-'characters'! Even though the Toasters are incredibly whack.. :headbang:
But I think what you've done up to now is the best choice; to alternate between the two, use them both on and off. It does them both justice and it allows for at least some diversity. Both are recognizable in any case. :)
*is jealous and wants a Batty* :D

:pointr: Being honest, I like your Batty more than your Cutie. I don't know. Maybe it's because I got used to seeing your green Batty everywhere more often than the Cutie?

The batty is a more recognizable icon really. I mean, you've got all these batty members and plenty of people who probably lust after having one of their own as well. So when people see a batty, they're going to remember it. Which is why I've been hesitant to change.

:pointr: But still, Batty is the right choise in my opinion. However, it would be very interesting if you created something of your own.

I've been thinking about creating my own, but I just don't have the time. There are so many other things I could be doing in my free time that this idea is on the back burner. The back back back burner even. =)

PS. Thanks for the Cutie though. I love that avatar. In fact, I'll probably end up doing what I've done in the past and switch between the batty and the Cutie every once in a while. :heart:
