With the major focus drawn to the programming, it seems like Netflix has been forgetting something. Not anymore as the Profile Icons are getting a makeover.

Netflix Profile Icons Get A New, Fun Makeover

The idea of personalization makes us feel like we can customize something just for ourselves. It feels like an extension of our identity or just it makes us feel more “at home”. Well, the folks over at Netflix have announced a makeover for their profile icons for everyone to enjoy.

The profile icons you’ve used for the last five years are getting a fun makeover. They’re introducing a number of new icons, including some of the most beloved characters from Netflix shows and movies.

We know the series and movies on Netflix are more than just things you watch to pass the time. The stories — and the characters in them —are also your heroes, frenemies, soulmates and everything in between. We’re thrilled to give you a way to show your fandom and make your connection with Netflix more unique.

Interestingly, it is considered an anniversary for Netflix given that they first introduced profiles in August 2013. From then, you had the ability to make the service uniquely yours so you don’t have to see your other people’s movies or cartoons in your lists and recommendations.

Profiles are key to creating a highly personalized Netflix experience. By watching on your own profile, they can showcase suggestions for TV shows and movies we’re sure you won’t want to miss.

The new profile icons will be rolling out on the website, mobile, and TV devices over the next few weeks. Some of you may have access to them already so if you don’t have it yet, do not panic. Just be patient and wait a little while longer.
