I’ve probably asked this before, but what’s the deal with round profile pictures? Why did nearly every service move to round avatars over square?
I don’t mind if you round off the corners, but I want square profile pictures back.
@mike I’m on team #squircle 😅 https://adam.omg.lol
@mike I guess somehow all designers magically agreed on circle means person. 🤪
@libei I feel like it’s a little bit of wasted space, although I can appreciate some white space now and then.
I also feel like it often cuts out useful portions of an image where the corner of someone’s head isn’t visible.
@mike because once you sign up for those services you are dead inside so they make your profile picture have the same format as pictures in an obituary. 🙂
