Avatars for group blogs should fall back on group avatar, not admin user's

Description
Don't know if this is a bug, or a feature request, or just me being dense.
I noticed that a lot of group blogs don't have avatars when displayed on the "Blogs" tab. Then I noticed one of mine (QCGSLIS) doesn't have one either, and I tried to change, but could not find a way. I share admin privileges with one other member. But other blogs that I share rights with post my avatar on this tab (I don't think this is quite right).
Should there be a specific avatar for a group blog, regardless of its admin(s)?

- Target version set to 1.3
This seems related to this issue -- http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/342 -- but you're right that when blogs are associated with groups, it's a special case and it might be easier simply to assign the group's avatar to the blog.
- Target version changed from 1.3 to Future release
This will likely have to be fixed at the same time as #342.
- Subject changed from Avatars for Groups to Avatars for group blogs should fall back on group avatar, not admin user's
- Category name changed from BuddyPress (misc) to Group Blogs
Boone, has there been any movement on this via BP in the years since this ticket was created?
This particular ticket is related to blogs that are linked to groups, and BuddyPress itself doesn't have any support for group-blog links. It's all handled by bp-groupblog. (As a side note, I think that much of what bp-groupblog does should be rolled into BuddyPress. But it's a large project that I haven't found time to pursue.)
Blog-specific avatars are a longtime feature request in BuddyPress https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/192 https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/342 Progress is being made to implement blog-specific avatars in BuddyPress, but it's not yet finished.
- Assignee changed from Boone Gorges to Raymond Hoh
- Target version changed from Future release to 1.17.0
This seems like a fairly easy win. Ray, you want to have a shot at it? I can envision this being a part of bp-groupblog. When determining the groupblog's avatar, the order of preference would be: 1. site icon, 2. group icon, 3. site admin icon.
