Twilight Icons

You love Twilight and you love hanging out on Internet forums. Put that together and what do you get? Twilight icons.

But first things first. What is a Twilight icon?

In computing, an icon is a small pictogram that represents something. For example, on your desktop, an icon may represent a folder or a computer program or application. Desktop icons came to popularity along with the birth of GUI interfaces.

But on the Internet, especially in community forums, an icon, sometimes called an avatar, becomes a graphical representation of the user. So if you’re a Twilight fan, it’s no surprise if all your icons are Twilight-related icons or Twilight icons.

The popularity of the Twilight franchise—if you still doubt that, ask any teenage girl in your building—has paved the way for Twilight icons to slowly take over the Internet.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Twilight icons turn out to be one of the most popular Internet searches last year. You can find lots of websites dedicated to Twilight icons within five minutes of browsing the Internet.

Most Twilight icons are saved in JPEG format. It is the standard format in most Internet forums. Another popular format is GIF, which allows animation that JPEG images don’t have.
