I think the key challenge with my proposed idea is to have another internal API just for the themes. Everybody can provide themes for the service and hook them into the main avatar service.

Imagine there would we just one avatar service where consumers can get thousands of different avatar-styles.

Didn't consider that aspect. That would be very cool! Okay, thats a little more of a challenge than generating some initials and making a circle, lol. I will investigate, sadly I'm not the most creative person, so wouldn't be as cool as https://robohash.org
