How are identicons generated?

When you first create an account in The Lab, your identicon is automatically generated. The shape and colors used are based entirely off your username.

The shape can be one of any shape that is possible with a 5x5 grid of squares.

The colors used can be any of the following colors that are used in the Transient Labs ecosystem:
