I will refrain from rating Jarno's, Ashmo's or Mikey's avatars and instead focus on Elissar's. It's a Linux penguin with a helmet and M-16 or something. That's good. But the image quality has been damaged badly from being downsized, and the somewhat off-center text suffers because of this. Also, the caption, though the sentiment is laudable, is mystifying; to whom is it addressed? The penguin's enemies (presumably it has such), or anyone who sees the avatar? Props for the penguin but as armed penguin avatars go this incarnation is mediocre. Hooray for penguins though. 6/10
