FAQ

A snowglob is an abstract representation of a snow globe. A snow globe is a transparent or opaque sphere, traditionally made of glass, usually enclosing a miniaturized scene of some sort, often together with a model of a town, neighborhood, landscape or figure.

Snowglobs do not cointains a miniaturized scene.

Because the domain snowglobes.com was taken, and my domain registrar suggested snowglobs as an alternative

That is not a question. However, any resemblence is a complete coincidence. LinkedIn default avatars are a circle overlapping an eye shape in a circle. I designed snowglobs as a circle overlapping an oval, and the image is on a square.

Furthermore, snowglobs are different colors to the LinkedIn no-profile picture avatars.

They are meant to be snowglobs.

You absolutely are. I hereby release all snowglob images into the public domain under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.

It is on my to-do list. There will be 1800 snowglobs, each with a subtly different shade.

I just haven't gotten around to minting them yet.

I find them aesthetically pleasing.

What I certainly did not do, is design them as replacement profile pictures for LinkedIn. Please do not replace your LinkedIn profile picture with a snowglob. If you use a snowglob as a profile picture, under the terms and conditions of the site you may find that LinkedIn replaces your snowglob picture with the the LinkedIn default avatar.

And that would be terrible!
