Yeah, I also identify people with icons, and obviously I'm very fond of consistent and recognizable ones myself. I find them especially useful in journal and comment page styles that put poster names in unexpected places or away from the icon.

I had no idea you'd drawn your icons.

Heh, hearing this kind of thing, I always wonder where people who have seen a couple of my icons think I could possible get them from, if I wasn't drawing them myself to match my fandoms and moods.
