I agree with Tony the Tiger on this one… THEY’RE GRRRREAT!!!

CHECK OUT MINE

http://twitter.com/btamayo

inspiring collection here, I believe if they center the background people will be able to do even more…

Check my digs – http://twitter.com/peternudo

@simonwilchesc, my favorite

Now I can understand why they have so many followers

Agreed, nice list!

I sketched my own twitter background too: http://twitter.com/marialavis/status/2339897363

I really love the graphic background for my Twitter homepage. It really works with the rest of my branded stuff (web page, etc) and has just the personality I was looking for.

I have tricolours of Indian flag all over http://twitter.com/prempiyush

Sweet! Is it hard to make twitter BG’s?

I love @twestival_Jozi @Canvascubed @peachpops @Desizn Tech @lychyi.
And here ist mine, I drawed it: http://twitter.com/regula_b

Have a look : http://twitter.com/jhervouet

Very cool indeed!

Thanks for including us on the list!

Thanks for including me in the list!

A french guy, i Love his background: http://twitter.com/jbgouraud

That’s pretty cool – having never used Twitter I didn’t realise there was such an abundance of design capabilities on the platform. It’s cool seeing famous companies like Technorati customising their pages. I like the Shirt Pizza design most.

Well I can’t draw, so a background featuring illustration is out of my reach!

I’ve been experimenting with using text to draw people in to my collective nouns experiment – which is all about language, so it seems fitting. Check it out here: http://twitter.com/collectivenouns

These are way to cool. -drools at other people’s talent-

Fantastic!!!! I wanna try!!! Very cool backgrounds! Nice collections!

I love them all <3 people are soooo creative *___*

check out my twitter: http://twitter.com/go_avi

Sheffield International Venues (A leisure venue company where I live!) have a nice one to reflect their current summer campaign.

Great list, thanks for the include!

i agree with ‘web design news’ above, would be brilliant if you could center a twitter background

Nice List!! I luv all of them!!

Very Cool Twitter Backgrounds! Its a pity more people wont see them since so many people are using 3rd party apps and not going to twitter directly…

check out mine and see what you think? http://twitter.com/scuba_suzy

Thanks for putting me on the list Wooooo!

You forgot mine!!

https://twitter.com/rluchun

Some cool background. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for featuring both @LBOI and @starswelove

Awesome round-up you have here!!

those were a very nice background

Nice designs. I also made one by hand too: http://twitter.com/sadesigner

Also, I created a tribute to Michael Jackson. “Who’s Bad Poster”: http://www.transparentpixel.com.br/tutorial/tutorial-1-whos-bad/

My twi: http://twitter.com/laberso Old-school and creative

My favorite is http://twitter.com/ridlo because of the easter-egg hiding on the far right side of the background image.

may I point out that the background mr. Brian Sweeney is using is not an illustration by himself. Rather it is on of scott jacksons artworks (an illustrator from england)……
you can see it here as well as more of his work http://www.iamscotty.com

Great list. Some of these were my inspiration for the design of a great environmental twitter site… http://twitter.com/resourcecasella

Yours is pretty funny Bryan Tamayo.

Check mine too: http://twitter.com/tmwecommerce

Really cool backgrounds, have to agree… Even though I missed mine in that list, I think it is very nice too: http://www.twitter.com/EquipePersonare – Check it out.

OK, but… what about MY background? #lol

Nicefull bckgrnds!

It’s interesting how many “creatives” create the same look.

That said, nice job Michael Parenteau.

Also check out these two….

great collection with inspiring designs…! thanks

Very cool!!

The main problem I found with full backgrounds in Twitter, is that people with lower resolution screens don’t get to see them complete, or if they’re too small, they get “chopped” when viewed with higher resolution screens.

Also, shameless plug to mine: http://twitter.com/rosecg

Very interesting!
My background is simple but is my face
http://www.twitter.com/donaiana

I think my company twitter should be in this list. See http://twitter.com/MinhasEconomias

This one is sexy.

http://www.twitter.com/markhoban

Thanks for the mention! I am honored to be among such great designers!! I am a big fan of your site so Thank you!

Keep up the good work!

Seen quite a few of these before but I love @Riku and @ShirtPizza – I think there is a lot of scope for people to be creative with Twitter backgrounds – be even better if they made them scalable for different res monitors. I really enjoyed making mine http://twitter.com/caitescott

These are cool. Our designers are pretty good to, check out our background http://twitter.com/thehut_com

Awesome, thanks! I’m all about looking at custom Twitter backgrounds and there are a bunch here I haven’t seen yet…

I have never beaten my own drum before but I do feature my illustrations right now on my current twitter page so here it is: perhaps you’ll like it
http://twitter.com/pqrdesigns

hi all,
this page doesnt load on my ms IE (no backgrounds).
OK on firefox

use of a crapy library?

many of these backgrounds (with no blank right side) have a crapy look on my 1680×1050 lcd screen…
like anousone, andy, american hell,…

any universal solution ???

Very cool collection of twitter backgrounds. I love seeing all the designs that people put together and get on their profiles. It’s really unique and fun to sink time.

I’d like to share my twitter background.

Just to explain the concept of the art:

I live in Rio de Janeiro and the beaches here have a little animal that goes under the sand and hide from the waves and they call here “TATUÍ” and i made the “TATWITTER”.

I hope you guys like.

This one’s nice and funky-smart:

http://twitter.com/treehd

wow.. Great composition!
Now I definitely need to redesign my twitter background!

I see half of those twitter backgrounds are from vector stock stuff. Unoriginal and VERY amteurish.

check out mine http://twitter.com/umefarooq ppl will love it.

Thank you they are really great…
Check out mine : http://www.twitter.com/cssstyle

Too cool! Actually saw a few I’m following. I’ll have to send them a link. I’m still pretty new to Photoshop, but I threw something together better than the twitter defaults.

http://twitter.com/StoneCS

So many great designs!
Mines pretty kwel too….Peace…In Lak’ech
http://www.Twitter.com/HolliDiel

These are great backgrounds. I think having a background makes your profile standout and makes people want to follow you. Thanks for posting these.

Lovely list.. I need to create a background for my twitter account!

Wow ! Really beautiful !
If you would, you can see my background !

Check this and tell me what you think, thanks!

Thanks for including me on the list Designer Depot, such a fan of your blog and to be mentioned is an honour. Awsome list of well designed twitter backgrounds shown on this list which should inspire people who yet don’t have a twitter background, to try their own creative juices in making one and if this article doesn’t do that, then something is seriously wrong ha ha.

Again, Thanks.

@anthonywoods

Thank you for sharing my background here. It is a drawing I did and was just really fun. The image quality isn’t really as clean as the drawing I did… I will probably update it to look better, and maybe even use a different drawing to change it up a bit! Thanks again! I love this website!!!

Great roundup It gave me the idea to maybe also do an illustration section on our Twitter backgrounds website http://viuu.co.uk . Those backgrounds you’ve selected are really nice. I didn’t think that I would like fully illustrated backgrounds but they look great. Thanks for sharing.

Another one!

Very nice background but it will cost a day to complete this illustrator background:D

Some of these are so cool, I NOW have to get my own customized, tired of the standard look and 6 or so choices twitter gave you. I always wondered how it was done. Thanks.
