, #snac 's default icon, before.When I started developing snac, I realized I needed a default icon to show for those accounts that lacked an avatar, similar to the outlined elephant Mastodon has. Given the minimalistic nature of the software, I thought that having a heavily-pixelated one, even 8-bit-like, was a perfect match.
So, I started designing one, inspired by singer/composer [Siouxsie Sioux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxsie_Sioux ), whom I'm a big fan of. I've done some pixelart before, but was not totally satisfied, so I asked a friend with more artistic skills, who did some tweaks, and I was finally happy with it.
Also, it's said that all cool software must have some easter eggs; so, Susie looks somewhat different sometimes, and once a year, in a special day, she looks **very** different. Easter eggs are like jokes and if you explain them they lose their power, so I'm leaving it here.
