cellio | help needed: graphic design for GoFundMe

(Solved; see note at end.)

Hello Internet friends!

In response to many suggestions and offers to contribute, I started to set up a GoFundMe page to collect donations for legal fees in my dispute with Stack Overflow. And I got blocked on...upload a photo or video.

I don't think a photo of me is the best thing to put there. Also, I'm not really all that photogenic, and women online tend to have problems in this area anyway. What I'd really like is to create some combination of my avatar (the one on this post, which I unfortunately only have in a small size), the Stack Overflow logo, and the moderator diamond. I have PNGs for these elements.

I have neither a great sense of graphic design nor the skills and tools to make something reasonable happen. I also don't know if this is actually a good idea or I should do something different. GoFundMe wants at least 600x400px.

If you have suggestions for what to use for this graphic representation of my campaign, please comment. If you can offer help in actually making a graphic for me, please give me a way to contact you (or contact me if you already know how).

Thanks!

Update: It has been pointed out to me that using the Stack Overflow logo, fitting as it would be, could be a trademark violation. So I need another idea.

Update 2: A kind person sent me a larger, cleaned-up version of my gravatar and I'm using that without further embellishment. Thanks all for the help!

Consider using the most representational details of the SO logo and your own avatar:

* Rotate the SO logo 90-degree clockwise and draw them as books falling off a shelf (falling = failing)
* Your coffee mug and spectacles are the most memorable parts of your avatar. So consider placing a rainbow diamond on the mug

You don't want too much clutter there, so just those three items should be clear enough to identify you as a person, you as an open and inclusive moderator, and Stack Exchange caught in the action of failing.

Wishing you the best,

Snow.

Oh, I like this a lot! Can anybody who's reading this make it for me?

I think a key to all of these ideas is that my gravatar needs to be enlarged, but if you just zoom it it gets pixelated. How hard is it to smooth that out, making a larger decent-quality version of the current image? Is that five minutes with PhotoShop or is it hard?

I'd say thats not so easy, but look at this scaled images:

Thanks! I appreciate the help.

Someone also just emailed me one that will work.
