Thank you for your comments, everyone! I would like to emphasize that the project is just a proposition made during one Saturday after ThePiachu master thesis inspired me. It wasn't well tested for colisions though. However, I'm happy that this thread is growing and ideas for upgrades appear.
mskwik, thank you for your tests. I didn't think your way: that when the project become popular people may rely mostly on identicon rather that prefix thus they may stop checking it. Now, identicon is made from string made from double sha1 on address. I'm not sure what can be done to make collisions rarer. Maybe you would like to push to github your code?
That would be quite an interesting idea, although it would probably be way harder to implement than random geometric shapes...
Interesting idea. I came across: http://robohash.org/ - cunicula you thought about something like this?

I realize this has no practical purpose, but can you make the identicon into something cute?
More broadly, if you could do QR codes that are shaped like bunny rabbits and pandas, then the whole QR scheme might become more interesting to 50% of the population.
