Square avatars with initials hit different—they're less personal, more professional. This React avatar uses rounded-lg styling with initials in AvatarFallback, creating distinct visual identity for brands, companies, or workspaces without profile photos. Built with shadcn/ui and Radix UI, the square shape with soft corners works better than circles for organizational accounts mixing logos and people. Perfect for company directories, workspace switchers, team channels, or B2B interfaces where entities need visual distinction from individual users.
