Favorite empty state Avatars?

Who rolls their own vs using stock stuff?

I enjoy Headspace's default ones:
Not an empty state, but I like Secret's use of random avatars. I also like just using initials with a different background color ala gmail.
Yeah I think the best I've seen is initials. Because its still personal.
Slacks.
I think showing their location with a circle shaped minimap is really delightful.
9gag assigns random face from popular memes, like Emma Watson, Nicolas Cage etc.
Not really empty state, but Virgin America's avatars.
I don't think it's technically an empty state, because I don't think you can upload your own, but oh man, Netflix's avatars are my least favorite. They stress me out. The default one—that horrid dull turquoise with the screwy grin—I can't handle it. Like it bothers me on some ancestral level, as if man's first predator rose joyously from the deep sea with an asymmetrical face.
Same here!
I connected my Facebook account to Netflix, just so I wouldn't have to see that avatar. #truestory
Pretty successful empty state avatar imo haha
