As Twitter becomes the latest online craze, we look at some impressive Twitter profile designs that stand out from the micro-blogging site’s millions of users.

1. @pairadocsdesign

A variety of styles including the Polaroid and the name badge means that there is a design style you are inevitably going to like on this page.

2. @shirtpizza

The cartoon theme of this Twitter profile has appeal and really stands out from the crowd, while the choice of avatar picture reveals the logo and a nice complement to the user’s name.

3. @BWphoto

A very colorful Twitter background (despite its name), with a comic book effect.

4. @ramesstudios

Clever how the photographed person in this page is looking towards the Twitter main content area, isn’t it?

5. @Pudny

This is a really interesting Twitter page where a picture of him has actually been placed into a screen-dumped picture of Adobe Photoshop, clever!

6. @anousone

The rustic design really allows the location of this user to hit home, as well as providing a lovely advertisement for the Grand Canyon.

7. @kimdeanart

Contact details, a brief description, a testimonial and then full artwork to demonstrate the artist’s skills on this Twitter page.

8. @duboutdesyeux

The Twitter page may be in French, but the picture of the woman in the background speaks for itself.

9. @sitepointdotcom

This Twitter profile by SitePoint has it made with a tempting peek at the homepage of the actual site whilst giving some very small clues as to what the purpose of the actual Twitter account is for.

10. @mj12982

An excellent background where doodles are prominent and the contact details are sketched sideways, making for a unique and memorable design.
