I've never been on this site, before. My company logo is, of course, public and available in many places. My blog logo is a variation. I just posted an 'answer' and was asked my name (I used my first name only), my email address (I gave a gmail address that I use) and my home page, for which I gave my blog. Yet, after posting, my company logo appeared immediately. How was that done? From where was my logo accessed. It's a pretty neat web programming trick, even if it is easily available, in a lot of places IMHO

I think Stack Exchange retrieves logos from Gravatar, based on your email address.

  • That it does. However it is possible it will retrieve from another service as well, such as twitter, et cettera. It's likely not the case for Ray here though. :)

  • If you view the source for the avatar images, you will see that they do indeed come from gravatar.com.

Probably related to how he signed in via openid. This would be an off-topic or meta question though.
