Every second of every day nonprofits around the world are posting status updates, tweets, and messages on social networks attached to avatars with cropped art work and/or unreadable text. However, and unfortunately, the importance of using a visually appealing, perfectly-square avatar consistently on all social networking sites to build a powerful, recognizable online brand has yet to make its way into the communications and fundraising plans of many nonprofits.

Remember the homeless avatar in Second Life that got a lot of attention a few weeks back? I also tracked down the avatar in Second Life and did an interview with the people from NGO involved in this campaign. We will start to train someone in Mensajeros de la Paz who's gonna be responsible for the avatar if the action works. What are the logistics of working the avatar? We created an avatar, the cardbox, the sign, and recorded a video to show our creative directors.

Nonprofits have been utilizing social media for five years now (beginning with Myspace and YouTube in 2006), and while most at this point have invested the time and resources into designing a solid, visually distinct, social media-compatible avatar, many nonprofits still make the very common (yet completely obvious) mistake of using a cropped logo as their avatar in their social media campaigns. Please do not underestimate the power – or lack thereof – of your nonprofit’s avatar.

At the core of the brand is the Nonprofit Organizations avatar which has been used consistently since then to build a visual brand across many social networks ( Facebook , Twitter , Pinterest , etc). I worry that if I change my avatar and all the graphic design associated with it (like the banner on this blog), I would be hurting my brand recognition on the Social Web. The “Nonprofit Organizations” brand was launched in February 2005 on Myspace.
