Gravatar uses something like this, which they call identicons.[1] I haven't come across the idea used anywhere else. I'd think it'd have some place in the cryptocurrency world.

Yes. Same core idea as Identicon although original intent behind that was to use it for visual distinction, not recognition.

I think Lotus Notes also used to something similar when you typed in your password. Its been a while (thankfully) since I used it though.
