In accordance with Tumblr joining the rest of the internet 7 years late in asserting that all of its profile pictures must no longer be square, I am going to bring this development full "circle" (hehe) and allow it to reach its logical conclusion by developing a new raster image file format that stores pictures no longer as Rectangles in a Cartesian grid, but as Circles using polar coordinates. This file format will *assistant whispers in my ear* I don't fucking care. Start producing circular monitors then with rounded pixels then. Get out of my conference room

Polar pixels aren't actually a problem if we compare with actual use of extant rectangular pixels (not all of them are square). Since every profile picture needs to be displayed in different sizes on different devices, the rectangular image formats are already being scaled up and down constantly with various amounts of loss. Supplying a polychromatic polar pixel picture (PoPoPiPi, final name pending) is not likely to induce more loss, when any rectangular representation is not only scarily scaled but also routinely rounded, thus cutting off more than 21% of the pixels (1-π/4 > 0.2146).
