Silhouette first
Pros design for the 64-pixel test: if the avatar is unrecognizable tiny, it fails. Strong silhouettes like helmets, hoods, and horns win.
Color psychology
Red and orange signal aggression, blue and cyan signal calm precision, purple signals creativity. Pick the energy you want opponents to feel.
Consistency compounds
One avatar everywhere builds recognition. Pros rarely change PFPs mid-season: your face becomes your brand.
