PS3 - Regional User Faces... :) #1

So I was messing around in the XMB and noticed that you can change the little happy faces in the Users menu, but I was shocked to see that Sony didn’t include any regional icons. They probably don’t want to encourage multiple accounts across different countries, but as most of us at GAF do so I created these little custom ones.



Just press triangle on your signed-in profile, go to Information, click on the Icon and then go to “Select from [Photo]”, choose one of these images (or make your own if you think you can do better!) and spruce up your XMB.

United States


Great Britain


Japan (+ Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, for flair)


Other



Here is the PSD so I don’t become so kind of flag-face-merging workhouse. Just drag in a flag, cut it to the shape of the face and cut out the eyes/mouth. Then copy the layer style from the British flag and paste it onto yours. If you don’t have Photoshop or are completely useless in the program, just ask in the thread and I’m sure I or someone else can help you.


Template.PSD

Enjoy!

Nice work.

In case anyone's wondering, you can delete them from the photo folder once you've set them as icons. Just saves you cluttering things up.

Ah, it's a great idea, they look really cool! If you could get around to do a portuguese one, it would be greatly appreciated (at this pace you'll soon have done half of the countries in the world ;P).

I've been using avatars from various animes and video games for all my accounts.

But, this is an awesome idea though. I always considered using a flag for each account, but this looks even better.

Very nice Canadian bacon(which is just ham, we don't even call it that bacon is bacon)

Although how would it look if the leafs were scaled down to fit between the eyes and having bigger red borders?
