I can't settle on one currently, but aside from Boots Raingear, I appear to be the exception. Anyone have anything special to say about their icon? Mine is just a silly panel from Dragon Half, an old gag manga.

Einh.
I do simracing because it's vastly cheaper than the real thing, and a lot safer. My family's a bit touchy about risking life and limb since my sister's accident, so okay, I'll indulge them a bit.
Anyway, it being simulated racing, I have my own simulated sponsors. Bollox Shox ("Without Bollocks, you're bollocksed!") is one of my lesser "sponsors". Now with a clock because you know what time it is, sucka.

It feels tacky to bring up stuff like that apropos of nothing. I only brought it up here because it was crazy on-topic. If asked, I would have gladly answered, though.

It's a ningen. A pale, somewhat human-like aquatic creature which is often spotted in cold places. It seemed appropriate.
Now, if you'd ask me about my SKYPE avatar...

Isfahan, every time I look at your rack (obligatory rimshot) I'm reminded of the one trip I took to West Point. We had a sort of tour guide, and near the end of the tour my younger sister asked him what his meant.
He calmly explained, "Well, this one's cause I killed a guy, and this one's cause I ate him..."
The look of pure terror on her face was a thing of beauty.

Nope, that one's bad on accident, and so it is more funny than horrifying.
I just went into Skype and took a snapshot of it. Here.

He must have been either cadre or prior enlisted if he had decorations on his uniform. So far as I know, cadets don't earn proper military decorations while in academy.

It was in the spirit of those "energy" drinks that are really popular amongst the more "radical" brosef motorsports, such as US rallycross or Formula D(rift). Purple 16 Nuclear Drink: NUKE YOUR THIRST.
I had made logos for a handful of buddies. I'd opened it up to the membership here but nobody except Bunnybread took me up on it.

I asked a while back when heart/punching became a thing if one could be punched multiple times per post. It turned out to be possible, so I was sitting at about -8 or so. Then I decided to just stick with it as a minor identifier.
Being punched is not actually a fetish of mine. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Posts get missed, ain't no thang. My current two cars are essentially plastered at this point, though there's room for a couple 75x25 and 50x50 logos that will likely be rendered with a lot of antialiasing. There's ample room on my next two cars as I haven't gotten to the stage where I can race them competitively.

If we're doing it like that, then sure, count me in for an icon on your next car too!
(Also it looks like I -did- see the post, I just didn't realise you were actually saying that we could offer up our icons or names to be placed on your car. I thought you were just saying it as a matter-of-fact "Oh yeah you could put your icon or username on your car if you want" thing. As you can probably tell, I'm terrible at picking up on cues sometimes.)

Is this how it's gonna be? Fucking weird space-rabbit-moth, I will cut you for the privilege of having my icon adorn the hood of the Canada's race-winning machine.

Well, the gun is good, we all agree on that, but -- and here's where I start to diverge from my respected colleagues -- the penis is evil. I know it's a provocative thesis, but I think I can defend it.
You see, the penis shoots seeds. Innocent enough, but you must remember that those seeds go forth -- they go froth and create new life. And that new life poisons the Earth. It poisons the Earth with the filth of Brutals.
This is where the Gun comes in. The gun shoots death, and that cleanses the Earth of the filth of Brutals.
In light of which, GO FORTH AND KILL.

I literally juuust (like two minutes ago) looked up ningens and saw that picture and went "hey, Montrith". Then I see this thread. 2SPOOKY
Mine is just an illustration of the character of Dacey Mormont. Lame.

PSEUDO-CORPORATE LOGOS
I'm flattered, guys, and there's room enough for everyone on my current wheels. No need to fight, the Équipe Jagwire Team employ only equal-opportunity ridiculous drivers.
The problem I've got is of the lot of you, I don't know you that well and your current icons are more than a bit busy. If you can bash out your own art, you have a choice of 75x25 pixels (that's wide, not tall) or 50x50 pixel squares. Transparencies are okay. Ideally, keep the colours relatively simple and bold (but as with most rules, they can be broken).
If you can't, I CAN. Though either way, a simple "corporate" profile would be okay. Sellin' a product? Got a corporate slogan? My first "official" car had actual sponsorship from mayonnaise and popsicles (though I never ate any of either) so there's nothing too ridiculous.
And maybe to avoid derailing this thread, feel free to send info by PM.

Mine's Duck, the main character from Princess Tutu. Great anime, embarrassing title. She's flaily and awkward and well-meaning and she makes adorable faces.
Also I don't really have a squidlike personal mascot, and since we've got Squiddy and KingKalamari I didn't want to step on anyone's tentacles.

Mine is an image someone made up from "Commissioner Gordon's Backup Plan." One of the character described his outfit as being something like ts never surrender by skillet, and since nobody could quite comprehend what he was going for with that, it was decided that it was the phrase "Never Surrender" next to a picture of a skillet. Someone made it in photoshop or the like, and now I want it as a t-shirt.

No it wouldn't. I'd put that on my oval racer, then all the drawlin' guys would just assume it was a grocer's apostrophe, and they'd be saying things to me like, "Son, you got multiple Montriths all up there? Sheeyit, how you ever get any sleepin' done?"
