The zen page is my favorite, it is actually soothing. I like the color contrasts. http://twitter.com/zendesk

2nd favorite: http://twitter.com/theleggett – he spilt creativity on his page

Thanks for the post chad, I like looking at pretty design.

Great collection of Twitter Backgrounds! Thanks for including mine.

@T actually I did that image for the Pixelmator release that image in their site was done by me. I think I can use it then i’m working on another bg though.

Thanks.

Great post! Thanks for the inspiration.

What a great idea. It’s so interesting to see the effect of them all side by side, or bottom to top as it were. I’m humbled to be in such great company. Thanks for including my background.

Quite a nice collection!
Just a small advice: change the title in your header, that’s not corresponding to the post’s title

nice collection! i found this a while back

Cool backgrounds.

One of my favorites is the coffee god’s twitter feed, http://twitter.com/coffeegeek – the white cup and beans are awesome.

Wicked roundup! In love with Natalie’s background pattern, but the text kind of ruins it

Great collection. I’d like to be able to create something as nice as those wallpapers!

Awesome list, Thanks for including mine!

Great collection! I recently found this one which I thought was really good: http://twitter.com/snipeyhead

Some excellent examples, interesting start to my day,

Thanx

Fantastic and inspiring.

Thanks for adding me to the list : ) Some great designs on there feel very privileged to be on there

This has inspired me to do something about my boring twitter background. Thanks for the inspiration!

Impressive

I tried to subscribe to your feed but I got an xml error …

Me too, I too have an ordiginal background, can’t find my profile in here lols … http://twitter.com/manojsachwani lols

Nice backgrounds, just started on my own.

Thanks for including me on the list! It’s great to be paired up with some really great Twitter fans and friends.

Thanks for this – inspiring indeed!

what’s the best size to make your twitter background?

Awsome list, stumbled and delicioused to save for later!

WOW!! And i thought my background was amazing…

i am missing from the list, very sad

just kidding. cool list with cool background

great backgrounds I’ll redesign mine if I happen to have the time

Wow! Nice roundup…in love with some of the designs!! Thanks for including mine!

Some of those are pretty nice. Unfortunately 99% of their readers won’t be able to see them, since most people don’t have super high res screens like shown here (and if they do, I’m sure most run their browser no wider than 1024px)

Wow….I really love looking at these backgrounds. Those are really cool. So now I c=goota hustle. I feeling a bit left out. LOL

Hey, mine is pretty nifty I thought…

How on earth did you miss this one.

Good background collection. Backgrounds are good for when people check out your profile but most heavy Twitter users then move to alternate clients like Twhirl and Tweetdeck. I saw your posting say you were new to Twitter. We run the largest catalog listing of Twitter tools. Might help you grow more.

Looks like I’m gonna have ta take a Photoshop CS3 course just so my Twitter page will be chic & customized! So many great ideas here! Thx~

All great comments, there are a lot of twitter backgrounds, I didn’t include.. but thats ok, thats what these comments are for.. we might be able to pile up a part 2 post.. keep them coming

Thanks for adding my background. One of my followers told me about your list today. C heers. Kim

Wow these are all amazing – I was struggling with how big/small to make my background but found a post with a downloadable twitter template in .psd format – pretty nifty as a starting point.

You can download it here.

Oooh, these are awesome! I made a background for my twitter too! Have a look? http://twitter.com/folksylady

very nice. you can see the personalities that emerge from each of them. i like how much you can personalize it.

mine is also very minimalist:

These are some great backgrounds and some great people to follow also.

But i think it is qualified

Nice Collection, here is an interesting one
http://www.twitter.com/acosmin

It is a shame that we miss out on so many of these backgrounds because we’re too busy and must replace actual browsing with tiny bits of software to throw feeds at us. Maybe a metaphor for life?

It’s my turn now: http://twitter.com/ignaciogggg

KrisColvin should not be on this list either. She jacked her layout from the Livejournal community mintyapple where boundaries (I think) posted numerous Twitter layouts and color codes.

Even when I’m on my 17″/1920×1200 MBP I don’t have my browser window big enough for most of these to look right, let alone when I’m on my netbook (which is most of the time). Surprises me that otherwise incredibly talented designers fail to get this one right.

Highly Impressive collection. Thanks for sharing

Come one, give me some love…http://twitter.com/thepixelmethod

Great collection of backgrounds! Thanks for including mine – I’m getting ready to do a new one soon – Vanessa

Hey,

Here is our custom twitter page

http://www.twitter.com/coastdigital

What do you think?

Thanks
Carl

These are great but since most people (from what I’ve read) still have screens that are 1024 x 764, then most all of these designs’ main elements will be hidden behind the twitter content area.

I have seen some twitter backgrounds that were designed to work with a range of different size screens having the most important branding elements show up on most of the screen sizes. These are probably the most useful.

Maybe you can make another collection list of some of these type — flexible twitter backgrounds.

hope u like this one too ..

Nice post, thanks for sharing these samples.
