avatar to represent a person, and a square
avatar to represent an entity, such as a company.

Fallback
If there is an error loading the src of the avatar or if the src
has not been specified, there are 2 fallbacks:
- If there's a
fallbackSrc
prop, we use it. - If there's no
fallbackSrc
prop, we use the text props to generate the initials and a random color for both the background and the text color.
