10+ years ago, my very first profile picture at a corp was a screenshot of the statue from the flash animation "Truckers Delight".
In case you don't know, it's a giant golden statue of our protagonist giving a thumbs up, with scantily clad ladies laying at his feet.
Of course, the resolution was very high, but the thumbnail very.. small, so nobody noticed the ladies, until they upgraded some software that allowed one to click on said thumbnails, and hilarity ensued when my superiors understood what I'd been using for a (customer facing) profile picture for almost 2 years.
Nothing came out of it, I changed my picture..
Now I'm a boring black-white headshot like everyone else, and that's fine too..
To be honest, that's not the part of professional standards you should worry about.. How's the stuff they do? Do they put some pride into doing good work? Are they honest and responsible when their blunders float to the top ?
People grow out of thinking furry pictures are appropriate profile pictures.. But they don't grow out of not caring about doing shoddy work.
