Identicon

Identicon renders symmetrical pixel-grid patterns in a single color on a tinted background — the classic identicon look popularised by developer tools and version control hosts. Each pattern is deterministically derived from its seed, making it a dependable choice for technical profile icons and identicon API use cases.
