We need an avatar to represent "Anonymous" authors on our site. The
avatar should be gender and race neutral, and it should look great on
the website.
We're looking for something that's very polished, smooth, and
symmetrical, rather than a raw drawing or sketch.
Silhouettes and question marks are the obvious starting points that
first come to mind. Feel free to use these ideas or get more creative.
We've uploaded a stock image to show something that's close to what we
have in mind. The image is too robotic-looking (probably because of
the colors and the background used), but I could see this potentially
working if some modifications were made to it. Maybe using colors from
the site as the background, or possibly even getting more creative and
using things that fit in with literature or knowledge (like a chalk
board).
Other notes
The anonymous avatar will appear on our homepage, mixed in with other
authors, as seen here:

It will also appear on the Anonymous author page, seen here:
http://www.digiq.com/wp-content/upl…4/07/5.jpg
We've already tried a few stock photography options, as seen here:
http://www.digiq.com/wp-content/upl…4/07/6.jpg ... The grid
layout with multiracial avatars ended up being way too busy,
especially on the Anonymous author page which features the image
multiple times. And the faceless avatar isn't gender and race neutral,
so we want to feature something more appropriate.
You'll notice on the Anonymous author page, in some locations the
image will appear at full size, and in other locations, it will be
cropped. Here is the cropped area:

And here is an example of a stock photo that we're currently using for
authors who do not have a photograph available:

The image, at full-size on the website, is 300x300. However, we will
need at least a 1,000x1,000 pixel image, in case we ever decide to
change the sizes on the website.
