Isn't that a regression? How to tell users apart if you put the same brand logo on all of their profiles?

Sure is. My best guess, assuming it's not a bug, is that someone somehow managed to get an offensive-looking Identicon and complained loud enough so they removed them.
In any case, I really hope they return. There is the username, of course, but it is a nice touch to have a mostly unique simplistic avatar for those who don't supply their own profile picture.

Update: It looks like the Identicons might be back.

How many jumbles did it take? And, given that they're random and the user can choose another, what liability is there there for not censoring randomly-generated Identicons?
Should we all stop using ASCII fingerprints for keys because it could accidentally say e.g. 6 6 6 / 212 = 3.1415?
