Create a Robot Image from any text string
this is cute. if anyone is looking for a more abstract approach i threw some code together a year ago that generates colourful "mosaics" -

(i really need to improve the page and release the code...)

I love the mosiacs; They remind me of a prettier version of identicons.
My concern was just that people won't remember a random pattern of dots very well.

yeah, i agree. on the other hand, they go smaller - i was looking for something that would label users on a feed of short comments.

Wow, this looks indeed way better than identicons. I'll email you to enquire about the code.
