How does Stack Overflow auto-generate the gravatars for those users who do not upload a picture or who have not created a Gravatar icon? Where do these random avatars come from, and how can I generate them for my own site? Andreas Grech The 'random' colorful gravatars are displayed because this query string parameter is being added to every gravatar source URL: d=identicon This is done so that if the user doesn't have a gravatar image associated with his email, this 'random' image is displayed, instead of the default blue gravatar image. The following displays the 'default' blue image because
