Back in October 2012, I made myself an offline graphic for Twitch; this is what it looked like:

If you’ve visited my website’s splash page recently, it probably looks familiar, because I have my Twitch stream embedded.

Since then, a ton has changed in regards to my gaming. I became absurdly frustrated with the direction in which the gameplay of League of Legends was headed, and stopped taking the game seriously part-way through season 3. I completely left the Tetris competitive scene. StarCraft II became a game I opened once every few years, only to play arcade games with friends.

I’ve wanted to change the banner for a long time, if not for the misrepresentation of games, then to at least increase the quality of the image. The problem was, I uploaded the graphic to Twitch as a .jpg file, which created a lot of artifacts in the embedded video player and made it look blurry.

Literally almost four years later, I finally got around to designing a new Twitch graphic.

Not only have I obviously gotten a lot better at graphic design since then, but I also made it so this offline graphic is a lot more specific and broad at the same time. It provides more information about who I am, but also doesn’t include any restricting information.

I’m happy with how it turned out, but hopefully it’ll be shorter than another four years until I redesign it to make it look even better.
