Poll: Avatar change (again)

[blankedboy]

Well, my new(ish) avatar has done two things. One is that heaps of people are recognising me easier, and I'm getting alot of PMs saying that it's good and that whoever PMed me wants to know where it's from. The other thing is that another group of Escapists want me to change it because it contains horrible spoilers for Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I decided to bring this up now because I've found one that I might change to. Here's the comparison:

New avatar

Old avatar

Solved it, I'm going with the new one even though it's 50% both ways :/

Please don't make threads that are just about your own avatars.

And what is the discussion? Are we supposed to be telling you which avatar we like better?

 

[Hazy]

Keep the old one, it's elaborate and full of win.
Perhaps edit out the impaling if you wish to prevent spoilers.

 

[Kragg]

and for those people who didn't catch the spoiler earlier, here we have it again, thx

 

[Brandon237]

I like your current one and the spoiler ain't much of problem.

The new one does not look that good. So yeah, I like the one you currently have, Head stabs are two steps above head shots on the OMG WTF AWESOMENESS!XD scale.

not my fault

Spoiler

eventually he is captured and killed, some tellings forcing him to fight his best friend to the death

It's a tragic story, and is known by many people. It has been adapted into multiple books and movies. Plus, a GLADIATOR stabbing someone, since when is that a spoiler?
The old one is better, recognized much easier, and is epic.
Really, since when was Spartacus killing an ass of a noble a spoiler? If they recognize where it is from, they probably know the story.
Keep the old one, it's just epic. The new one is...well...a robot that turns into a ball. Not much else. The old one, every time I see it I imagine this huge orchestral score swelling in the bacground, pausing and replaced by a sound affect as the

is killed. Much more entertaining then a ball.
I used spoilers a bit here because if people are bothered by the old avatar, people would freak out at this.

If you change from your current one which is 800 Kb you can never go back.

The downsized version is less than 100k. Size isn't a problem, I have GIMP

Well your old one is better so keep it

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Do whatever you want...I can't really recall more than 2 PM's actually being about my avatar, yet the only way people probably recognize me on here is because of my consistency of sticking with this one avatar throughout my career here.

I'd say keep it, and with that...theres nothing left to say.

 

[Ekit]

I like the new one.
