69 alternatives to the default Facebook profile picture

If you have changed the default Facebook profile picture and uploaded your own, it’s fine. But if not, then why not replace that boring picture of the guy with a wisp of hair sticking out of his head with something different and funny?

d_silhouette
Default Facebook silhouette is boring

Someone called David has created a bunch of alternative Facebook profile silhouettes - from Albert Einstein to Frankenstein, Batman to Darth Vader. These are free to use in your Facebook profile. Have fun!

Update: Inspired by David's work, I have created additional profile pictures which are being added regularly. Check back often for new pics.

Note: The profile images has been replaced by previews, since this page is making too many connections to Picasa's server. To download the entire set, click on the download link at the bottom.

Included in the collection is a large number of real, fictional and cartoon characters such as Alien, Audrey Hepburn, Bender, Betty Boop, Bob Marley, Chef, Cloud Strife, Cyberman, Darth Vader, Abraham Lincoln, Bart Simpson, Batman, Boba Fett, Buddha, Che, Clint Eastwood, Doc Brown, Einstein, Elvis, Fez, Frankenstein, Gandalf, George Washington, Gollum, Homer Simpson, Jabba the Hut, Jolly Roger, Kermit the frog, Legolas, Lisa Simpson, Lyle Beaker, Maggie Simpson, Marge Simpson, Michael Jackson, Mickey Mouse, Mr T, Pedobear, Pippy Longstocking, Ninja, Princes Leia, Sauron, Tom Servo, Yoda, Deadpool, Dilbert, Foghorn, Garfield, Godfather, Harley Quinn, Harry Potter, Hello Kitty, Hitler, Kim Possible, Lara Croft, Mario, Marlyn Monroe, Marvin, Max Payne, Optimus Prime, Pikachuy, Pink Panther, Predator, Samurai, Sherlock Holmes, Shrek, Sonic the Hedgehog, Spiderman, Spock, Spongebob Squarepants, Terminator, Tinkerbell, Toadstool, World Ward 2 soldier, Zackfair and many more.

Also included are general profile pics like guys and girls with headphone, flipping the bird, wearing hats, with different hairstyles like ponytails and braids, and plenty of different girl profiles.

On last count, there were more than 130 photos.

There weren't many females to choose from.

This is a bunch of stupid crap. Kill yourself.

Cool idea, but so few females...

Anonymous said...

One nice person called David

That may be why.....
If it was a person called diane there may be a lack of male ones.

Sylvia said...

2 females????

Anonymous said...

Um....these are very gender biased. There are more genders than just the "male".

Anonymous said...

TBH there arn't that many characters that are female and spring to mind as being good for this. They look very good.

Mockingbirdflyaway said...

Well, he could just add some longer/different hair styles to some of the other themes raised. Girl wearing headphones, girl giving the peace sign or the finger. Girl with Chinese hair buns.

Other characters: Nichelle Nichol's Uhura with her big hair, hoop earrings and the funny little ear piece she wears.

Tsukino Usagi (better known as Sailor Moon) with her meatball hairstyle.

Jessica Rabbit

Tinkerbell

Arika Yumemiya or Nina Wang from Mai Otome (both have distinctive hairstyles)

Kim Possible

Betty Boop

Yeah, I agree the Lara Croft was crappy. I've uploaded an improved version.

Please understand that the original set was not created by me. I'm no Photoshop expert but I will try to extend the collection with more characters.

Darrel said...

This is the first time I have seen anything like this, and I like it. Ignore all the haters out there man and keep up the good work.

LMAO I loved this...I don't even care about the fact that there are more boy characters than girls. Who cares? Seriously. This was a great idea and I'm so going to use the kitty. <3

C3PO with arms raised

Tasmanian Daredevil

Foghorn Leghorn

Cynthia B. Demented said...

Hahaha! I think it's a fantastic and very humorous idea for our Facebook account! I'll definitely be using these images.

I've got a few suggestions I could think of :

Dracula and Ms Dracula?

A zombie (female or male) would be awesome too!

Jessica Rabbit?

Marilyn Monroe? To make it "easier" to recognize you could put her beauty spot in blue, I don't know... just a suggestion :D

A pin-up figure? A witch?

For males, I think some characters from Watchmen would be VERY awesome like The Comedian and Rorschach!!! But maybe they'll be hard to outline..

The Todd said...

How about Bob Marley? with the flowing smoke coming out the pic? That's be awesome... Great work by the way. I'm currently employing Mr. Clint Eastwood

Great stuff. Also, I think the set of female characters illustrates extremely well why there weren't more in the first place. Your explanation is correct; the hair is messing stuff up right and left. Maybe if we had more than just shoulders-up we'd have better context clues...but as it stands the female ones just flat don't work very well.

this is an awesome idea! ditto on the hello kitty, and I think Aang (Last Airbender) would be cool too, especially if you can play around with the arrow on his head like you did with Spidey's eyes.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate that when people complained that there were too few women you tried to do something about it. A lot of times online the answer is just some form of "Who cares about women?" Seriously, its really cool that you listened and tried to include women.

And for the guy who made the "fucking feminists" comment about men being superior...I assume you are a man, and you are clearly a douchebag. I am a woman and am not a douchebag. So that's at least one woman who is superior to you in at least one way. Have a nice day.
