Animation Yey!
So i made a vector, clear as day, new icon for my channel (using it here too) but on my main page it looks really blurry. it's a jpg at 800x 800. is there something I can do to fix this? is this just the browser? (chrome) How does it look to you guys?

This is what Im seeing:

This was the original: (which is not as blurry despite being a chopped bit from one of my vids)

And here is the new one:

I guess this is also a topic asking if you guys like the new icon too :) (i wanted to keep it as similar as I could to the original, so it would still be familiar to those that knew me by my old one, but made it look a little professional)[DOUBLEPOST=1437002069,1437001895][/DOUBLEPOST]It looks great on this site though, maybe its a youtube problem?

From one artist to another, you did a great job. Try saving your images as TIF. It should improve the quality.

800x800 is fine for avatar, as it's squared.

It's not that low quality on your YouTube page, is it?
Looks fine to me.

Ive just realised I have my browser set to +150 zoom, as youtube's text is ridiculously unreadably tiny at 100%. So it might be that, if it looks fine to you im happy ^v^
 
For anyone coming late to this thread, a really good and free photo editor I use is called GIMP. Its open source and has many of the functions of photoshop without the pricetag.
Pic Monkey will also work (in browser) but requires a little funny business to get the right aspect output. The upside is that there is no download.
