Here are the guidelines for creating an avatar. 

Capture map shapes from a solid-outline drawing (using gis shapefiles is optimal).

Use a graphical editor to se the size and colors according to the guidelines below:
(I use Graphic Converter on a Macintosh)

Width=75px (all should be 75: can add canvass size)
Height Max: 140px (not fixed)
Font is Palatino 10pt (but if you don't have, Times can substitute)
RGB Color
Outline: 353535
Background: DDDDDD (make transparent)

Shape
Independent: 00DD00
Democratic: DD0000
Republican: 0000DD
Libertarian:FFFF00
Other: FF9900

The text depends on the color: and should either be DDDDDD or 353535

For country labels, use two-letter internet code.  These can be found here

Please save as four-color GIF.  Once complete, you can email them to me and I'll add to the directory.
Thanks,
Dave
