My Facebook avatar is just a plain headshot — not too interesting. Lately I’ve been coming across a lot of cool avatars and I’m feeling motivated to change things up a bit. Because let’s face it — however witty your “About Me” box, people will probably be more intrigued by your profile if you’ve got a cool avatar to go along with it.

I’ve put together a selection of 12 crazy and cool Facebook avatars. Maybe they’ll inspire you to upgrade your online presence, too! Enjoy.

The Police Report Look

Somehow the paperclip makes this guy look mysterious -- or wanted by the FBI.

“I’m So Much Fun, My Facebook Profile Cannot Begin to Contain Me”

I love the stars zigzagging through the collage—and how this guy’s profile pic explodes off the frame. Really creative.

She certainly is!

This chick is out of the box, too! She should be friends with the girl above…

You’ve Heard of Off-Roading. Welcome to Off-Profiling: He can’t be contained in a measly frame!

Just Hanging Around

I really like how these guys turned their Facebook walls into actual walls for their avatars.

This guy is breaking out of Boring Profile Pics Penitentiary.

Long and Narrow = Visually Striking

These avatars are cool because they really play with the space allotted. It’s interesting to see all the different ways to interpret the profile pic space….

This guy isn't afraid to stick his neck out.

This girl did a similar thing as the ostrich guy above, but with another long and narrow image – chopsticks! Really cool.

Mmmm. Nothing like a giant hamburger to catch my attention….

A creative avatar means people won’t forget you, whether it’s here on 6rounds, on Facebook, or an Internet forum. Have you seen some cool avatars? Or maybe you think your own is pretty impressive? Share in the comments below!
