not necessarily derogatory, depends on the context. It is a shortcut for Christian as the cross represent Christ so the X represents the cross. Kinda like saying u r instead of you are.

The reversed cross, also known as the cross of St. Peter, has also been used as an emblem of Satanism, although more often by non-satanists than believers. Historically, it has been a symbol of humility, a symbol of Martyred St. Peter's refusal to be crucified in the manner of Christ, preferring to be hung upside down.\n\nToday, the symbol of an upturned cross may symbolize an opposition to Christian dogma, a concept borrowed from Christian writers who mistook the emblem of Peter for an anti-Christian symbol- a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy!\n\nThe inverted cross is also an esoteric symbol of reversal, and is related to the 12th key of the tarot, the hanged man.

The cross symbol could denote matter, and the u shaped symbol could be denoting a boat or a convergence.  Perhaps it is simply stating that the can is a conveyance of matter?  OR it is saying the can is a matter boat.\n\nA more practical approach might be that it is simply an attention seeking, mnemonic activating device for marketing purposes.

A red-X usually denotes that the picture is not available.\n\nIf you are using a linked picture, the picture may have been removed from the server or the bandwidth for the server host was exceeded.\n\nIf the picture you were using was on your computer and you deleted it or moved it, then the red x will also show up; as the picture is no longer available for display.

The original definition of avatar as "the manifestation of a Hindu deity in human or superhuman or animal form" has changed to "pictorial representation of a participant in a three-dimensional chat environment... chosen by the user...may look like a bird, a fish, or some other colorful character" according to a modern hi-tech dictionary.\n\nBut that is all encyclopedic, you don't want to get that as an answer, do you?\nI think that we _need_ to have some visual human reference, because of the growing importance of virtual spaces in all our comunications these days. I don't know about other users here, but I don't like to chat for long times with a person that I've never _seen_ or _heard_ in person (I chat every night, but mostly with people I know). Therefore the new meaning of 'avatar' seems like a good loan from the original sense, because they work as our own "manifestations". Your choice of avatar reflects at least some part of you, and sometimes it's the only thing that others will see. \nSo you see avatars are important to me, but that doesn't mean they won't change as I do.\n------\nSorry for the loooong answer!
