What's the deal with "popular" PokerStars images?

[BitterChris]

I am just getting into no-limit multitable tournaments on pokerstars and often see the same icons for different players. Not just different versions of a team logo or something, but the exact same image. Here is an example that I have seen at least 8 people using:



There is another with a fuzzy blue moutain ridge also. Neaither of these mean anything to me, so I am not sure if it has any significance (why more than one person would choose it), or if a local crew of players is using it, or whatever. I have never seen two players at the same table using the same icon, so I don't think it is used for collusion (anyone want to play against 8 yellow banners?).

Any ideas?
