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Note: The profile images has been replaced by previews, since this page is making too many connections to Picasa's server.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.
Have to try this out :)
ReplyDeletegreat idea. i will use one of this collection.
ReplyDeleteThat ninja is a fail, I can see it.
ReplyDeleteI know a few "Messy Spikey Hairs" could be any one of them..
ReplyDeletewheres the one of Spock?
ReplyDeletethat ones such a win
Looks good, but why are most of them male?
ReplyDeletewhere's the ninja one?
ReplyDeleteThere weren't many females to choose from.
ReplyDeleteCool idea, but so few females...
ReplyDeleteOne nice person called David
ReplyDeleteThat may be why.....
If it was a person called diane there may be a lack of male ones.
2 females????
ReplyDeleteUm....these are very gender biased. There are more genders than just the "male".
ReplyDeleteTBH there arn't that many characters that are female and spring to mind as being good for this. They look very good.
ReplyDeleteWell, 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.
ReplyDeleteOther 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
nice work man
ReplyDeleteOh yay. One more female one. A crappily done Lara Croft.
ReplyDeleteYou should've thought about BEEBOP!!
ReplyDeleteCrow and Tom Servo, sweet deal!
ReplyDeletechi, the persocon from Chobits; Yoshi!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree the Lara Croft was crappy. I've uploaded an improved version.
ReplyDeletePlease 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteim with Mockingbirdflyaway . . . those are some good requests especially tinkerbell & betty boop. this is really good stuff n its gonna be really cool when you see them all over FB . . . thanx
ReplyDeleteHow about more super heroes like Green Lantern(Hal Jordan), Wolverine, etc.
ReplyDeleteJessica Rabbit! Dread-locks female hippie! Mexican Sombrero Man. Elmo. Big Bird. Asian hat guy. (Lmao while writing these.) OMG! Do a KKK one! Blahahahah! umm... Superheros in general.
ReplyDeleteduude. Hello Kitty!
ReplyDeleteJust do a regular one with a girl with normal hair, facebook doesn't have that.
ReplyDeleteIf they didn't have captions below them, you wouldn't be able to tell what half of them were. Lame.
ReplyDeleteI really like it! And the Betty Boop would be awesome! Ignore all the folks out there complaining. Some people have nothing better to do. Very neat stuff!
ReplyDeleteLMAO 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
ReplyDeleteMore girls, please ;o) Ignofre the nasty comments. Some people dont have a life. Thx 4 the hard work. Facebook should have thought of this.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Tinkerbell
ReplyDeletemaybe a generic asian profile? :D
ReplyDeleteGandalf FTW
ReplyDeleteThat's wrong... You have Joel and Tom Servo, but you don't have Crow. Or Gypsy! Or what about one of Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank?
ReplyDeletei can't get one. how does one go about getting one??
ReplyDeleteBoba Fett FTMFW.
ReplyDeletevery cool idea, thanks
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER! Why are people so dumb? Why do people broadcast their stupidity on the internet for everyone to see? The Frankenstein's monster silhouette is labeled "Frankenstein". FRANKENSTEIN WAS THE SCIENTIST!!!!! Why don't people know that!?
ReplyDeletehow can i make this my default picture?
ReplyDeleteWould be sweet to have any Dr. Who silhouettes like a dalek or the tardis
ReplyDeleteWhere's SPOCK?!
ReplyDeleteMake a Darth Vader one or at least something Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteNever mind, just saw Yoda...
ReplyDeleteAwesome artwork, great creativity! Thanks for sharing this, very cool indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe beheading profile was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion, in a similar "vein" :)
tho it may be too extreme
A twins silhouette, co joined at the head???
I realize I may burn for posting that...
C3PO with arms raised
ReplyDeleteTasmanian Daredevil
Foghorn Leghorn
a cockroach profile (top third of the body, on an angle?)
giraffe
rhino
parking meter ("expired")
playboy bunny
stickman / stickwoman / stickperson
leaning tower of piza
moose head
chick (as in chicken)
mac(intosh) SE30
light bulb (bright idea)
tv test pattern silhouette
indian chief with feather headdress
lego figure head shot (maybe with one "hand" or "arm" raised?)
robot from Lost In Space
Gumby
Pokey
PacMan
Ms. Pac-Man
Hahaha! I think it's a fantastic and very humorous idea for our Facebook account! I'll definitely be using these images.
ReplyDeleteI'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..
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
ReplyDeleteFREDDIE MERCURY!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAmazing
ReplyDeleteHow about nationalities.....
ReplyDeleteMexican with sombrero
Peruvian
Chinese
Arab
Matador
Aussie
Dutch
German
this is awesome. i am definitely gonna use tink! thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much! Lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteYarael Poof from Star Wars would make a killer Silhouette!
ReplyDeleteWhat about an Invader Zim or GIR one?
ReplyDeleteThis is shit.If I give this the thumbs down will I have to set eyes on this pish again?no?good.
ReplyDeleteSome of these are fantastic, but some are just.. I would SO not know what they were without a title. XD;;
ReplyDeletewhat---no elvis?????
ReplyDeletehow about a peace sign
ReplyDeletehttp://www.evilmunky.com/2010/03/facebook-profile-silhouettes/
ReplyDeleteThere are a few pictures on this site that I didn't see here. Not very many, but a couple..
Print sreen forever ;)
ReplyDeletecan we make our own picture being like that? where did you create these? haha! if you won't mind. :)
ReplyDeletehow can we make our own version?? would you mind to share? haha!
ReplyDeleteYou need spock!!!
ReplyDeleteFreddie Kreuger
ReplyDeletemake master cheif!
ReplyDeletemake a lion king one!!!
ReplyDeletedude, it's to small when i get it to my profile picture
ReplyDeleteGreat thanks,
ReplyDeleteBig five hand gretings from North hsumatra
Lake toba
I N D O N E S I A
Make a Kid Cudi one
ReplyDeleteI'm a woman, and I agree, the girls are hard. How about the Wicked Witch or Glenda? Wendy (of fast food fame)? Maybe a Queen Elizabeth I outline would work. Would Padme/Adidala work or is she too wonky?
ReplyDeleteI love the Dr. Who ideas! And the Muppets are wonderful! I'd love to see more of them. Miss Piggy could work.
Thanks for the fun work you have done!
cool stuff. but beware of trademark infringement. some stuck up idiot lawyer hard up for cash might harass you on behalf of Disney or Playboy.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
Cool idea! thnx.. will try it ^^ @ ^^ girls are soft, it least I find my girl friend soft to touch.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm surprised to see so many critical comments. I thought the concept was very cool and there were a lot of characters there I really liked.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Where's the "shocker"?
ReplyDeleteyou should make a terrorist or make och mid or peanut maybe even Kirby
ReplyDeleteZERO from code geass
ReplyDeletegood work, ignore the trolls
ReplyDeletecan you do GW Bush? or would that be Alfred E. Neuman? I suppose they are one and the same
I bet the best picture for your own profile would be one of yourself! : O
ReplyDeleteHow about Frank the Bunny from Donnie Darko?
ReplyDeletelol...very nice...copy and paste is a wonderful thing!
ReplyDeleteFor the Touhou fans, I made up a Flandre. No, I lie, I actually made it for me 8D But here, have it!
ReplyDeletehttp://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v228/201/87/n500653845_9247.jpg
would be great but i cant get one to work
ReplyDeleteI agree with Danimal21qi. Gir is the best ;D
ReplyDeleteCould you make a Robin (batman) one?
ReplyDeletewhy not make the friendster logo hekhekhekehk
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Monroe might be fairly simple. These are cleaver! Keep it up and ignore the people who have nothing better to do with their lives than insult others.
ReplyDeleteInstead of just a sword for the Ninja character, the box should just be empty.
ReplyDeleteI mean...if they're really a ninja then they wouldn't be seen would they?
needs spiderman
ReplyDeleteAnonymous says... "that ninja is fail, i can see it"
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about, of course you can see re-
cloud strife would be a great addition
ReplyDeletelol I LOVE the Pinhead one!
ReplyDeleteIron Man maybe?
ReplyDeleteHow about Yoda or Boba Fett or maybe Master Chief.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Fucking awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I just changed my profile picture to Tom Servo.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! You should do the Playboy Bunny!
ReplyDeleteHere's a few more I made :)

mario! toadstool!
ReplyDeleteI think X men would be a great idea.. I'm thinking wolverine specifically.
ReplyDeleteSpike Spiegel
ReplyDeleteI noticed you don't have Goku up there. Let me fix that for you. =)
ReplyDeletehttp://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4714206978_c7eb5de4e6_m.jpg
how about the famous conehead?
ReplyDeleteyou can't forget Hello Kitty!!
ReplyDeletethis 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. More girls? hmmm, comic books of course! Harlequin, Catwoman, Batgirl, a simple tiara, Charlie's Angels, need I go on???
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm female and loved the crow and Pedo bear. Then again, those were the only few my web browser (chrome) would load? So..booyah.
ReplyDeleteHow about Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffanys with some bling around her neck and the tiara?
ReplyDeleteWhy not Bender from Futurama? -Miket
ReplyDeleteIt is Pippi Longstocking, not Pippy Longstockings!
ReplyDeleteEINFACH KLASSE ! BUITEN GEWOON !
ReplyDeleteNeeds more Hank Williams.
ReplyDeletelast air bender
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a glee one.... normal person (hopefully girl) with the loser sign on her forehead!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with "reddkatz" Doctor Who is AWESOME. I might use one of the star wars characters, because those are cool :D
ReplyDeletegreat job, i can see why there arnt more female ones, but good job on the ones u did do. ignore the jerks :D
OPTIMUS PRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDeadpool, Thor, and Captain America's shield will soon become very popular. I suggest they are created. I may even be able to create them myself.
ReplyDeleteHow about the Queen!?
ReplyDeleteLove it! It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteNeeds some Harry Potter
ReplyDeleteNeed more rappers
ReplyDeleteYou should have an ice cream cone!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
Astro Boy. Nothing is asking for it more...
ReplyDeleteGood stuff tho
Here's my suggestions:
ReplyDeleteGarfield
Kool Aid Guy
Generic animals (snakes, butterflies, bees, etc.)
The Cheat (from HomestarRunner.com)
The Enterprise
Yoda
The Star Trek insignia
Vyvyan (from The Young Ones)
I could be here all day.
Where's McGayver?
ReplyDeleteChef from southpark, or other characters, MLB logo guy, Tony the tiger (cereal mascots are very recognizable in silhouette.)
ReplyDeleteSHREK?
ReplyDeleteAll suggestions has been noted and will be coming soon. Please give me some time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support :)
how about the godfather
ReplyDeletetry a dog..? And a baby. And, uh, a sock puppet. And a better ninja.
ReplyDeleteHow about a Juggernaut From Modern Warfare 2?
ReplyDeleteOr a guy who's on fire?
A zombie with a partially exposed brain?
Just a couple quick ideas.
Harry Potter
ReplyDeleteMicheal Jackson
Kiss -with the tongue
Hitler -it would be hard to show the moustache
Squirtle
A dog
ReplyDeleteSailor Moon/Mini Moon
Strong Bad (homestarrunner.com)
CHARIZARD!!!!
DUDE, you need more Family Guy characters and Kanellos the Riot Dog.
ReplyDeleteI'd appreciate it if you made it happen. :)
green lantern, flash, wonder woman
ReplyDeletewow! such creative works! may i suggest a guy wearing glasses, an angel, other characters from spongebob like patrick, sandy, squidward, mr. krabs, etc., and characters from X-men such as wolverine, cyclops, juggernaut, etc.
ReplyDeletemore Pokemon
ReplyDeleteRobert Smith from The Cure
ReplyDeleteIf you "hate" this so much then ignore it. Why waste your time? Or be positive people and maybe you won't be so miserable. I love this site!
ReplyDeleteI believe that there isn't a 'geek' one, is there?

ReplyDelete(not forgeting the Scutters!)
Could you add a girl with curly hair or braids?!

Good to see my hero Spidey is here too.
Hitchcock!
ReplyDeleteone thing to say,
ReplyDeletelacrosse
Please remove Adolf Hitler. That one is just not funny.
ReplyDeleteSome of them are a bit vague (Jabba the Hutt looks like a pile of laundry) but most are brilliant!

ReplyDeletehttp://img245.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=inuyashas.jpg

And here's Nagisa Furukawa from the popular novel and anime titled Clannad. Main character.
Please let me know if they're any good and if they will be featured.
I think these ARE cool. This guys has given up his time to make these, and all you do is call them crappy! I wil be using these. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could do a ninja one but faded so he is almost invisible? That would be really cool!
Chi from Chi's Sweet Home!
