In XenForo they use CSS + HTML instead of images. It's the best way to do this kind of things. E.g.:

Exactly the same thing done with CSS + HTML sized less than 0.2 kb and can be much lower because most part of it will be moved to one CSS class (everything except color), so in result it will sized about 0.05 KB.

@Luuk Avatars in 4.4 will be in SVG :)

Yes, we've changed the approach for 4.4 to use SVG-based avatars.
