Oolite Icon Competition

[Smivs]

I am most impressed, KW! That is very nice.

[Star Gazer]

Goodness, that is very chic! ...nice...

[DaddyHoggy]

Oh, pretty shiny thing, me want...

(sorry, I'm just a crow at heart - there's some Magpie in my ancestry)

[Killer Wolf]

cheers
you can probably tell i'm a huge fan of "Rome".

[Disembodied]

Nice one, KW! And of course, if there's ever the need, the silver-and-red double O that the eagle is holding could be used on it's own, too ...

[Rxke]

Now, that looks pretty professional

[Cody]

I like that KW... the only thing I'd change is the colour of the 'O'... blue might be better.

...and less likely to be confused with the logo for the world's best browser when/if used separately.


While I'm in here:

BTW, when does the competition end? Can we vote already?

It's been another month now--can we vote already?

So, can we vote already?

The rules clearly state that you don’t get to vote at all, although the jury will take general opinion and/or bribes into account.

I'm calling bullshit on that one!
All it says is

One entry will be chosen

, nothing about the manner of choosing.

I guess what I was really trying to ask, in a roundabout kinda way, was whether this competition was going to run for another 18 months... I've looked through the thread, and there are a lot of really good submissions. Some of them, however, by board members who've been inactive for ages. Is it safe to assume that their contributions are safely enshrined somewhere other than this board, in case something untoward should happen with the linked images?

It's not safe to assume anything like that!

Many years ago, a teacher at my old school told me: ‘never assume anything… it makes an ass out of u and me.’

looks nowt like Firefox!

looks nowt like Firefox!

Strike one!

I see that in Europe, Firefox has edged ahead of IE.

Take the browser silliness to Outworld, please.

The Judgement will be quite soon. At the moment, the entries that actually qualify are:

• McSpider
• Dave McRoss
• Dave McRoss again (but that one really isn’t suitable for an icon)
• Killer Wolf

These entries would qualify if they were provided without a background:

• commander_matt
• seventh

I’d quite like to see qualifying versions of this one by disembodied (In addition to being to small, part of it’s cropped off).

No, I don’t have backups of the broken links. I had some of them a while back, but I don’t know where.
