whats this? logo?  

I probably wouldn't have minded much if it didn't make it because it's just an avatar - on the other hand, it DOES represent me, so it's a fairly important thing. Either way,  I think it got accepted purely because of my name and history on the site.

I agree that this might not be worthy of being a completely new piece, but I'll explain why I did this. The blue version was made for a red vs blue challenge. Updating that to a green color would break the entire intention of the piece. While this one is merely a tweak, I felt like I had to keep the original (blue) intact.
 

Ok, the troll wanted to prove me wrong! :D 

Think just changing one color of an old image makes this too redundant for acceptance on its own. Why not starting an avatar collage and set this one as preview.
