*****The closing time for entries has now passed. The winning icons will be announced shortly!*****
Incredible competition.
Leave your mark on Atomic forever! Your name will be whispered with praise everytime anyone ever makes a new poll!
The forum page needs a Poll icon! We have heard your feedbacks, we agree you are right!
And only an Atomican knows exactly what it should look like, so it's like totally polly but also fits in with the site aesthetics - including fitting in with our old friends lock and sticky (hell - if you also design a cool new lock and sticky, perhaps following some kinda theme, perhaps not, but we may well end up using the whole set!)
I just can't think of a more noble and glorious pride the winner will achieve. 'Tag' Atomic forever with your touch.
For a prize the winner gets something cool from whatever I have lying around and don't want anymore. Not sure what it'll end up being. May not even be at all valuable, but at least interesting!
The deal would be atomic would get exclusive use forever of the winning icon/s.
Any other entrants retain their exclusive ownership of their designs.
All entries must be original compositions.
To enter!
Email any entries to me at bmansill@atomicmpc.com.au
Subject header "A new friend for Lock and Sticky"
15 x 15 gif with a background colour of #003000
You have to also send a mockup screenshot showing how your icon/s would make the atomic forums page more beautiful.
There's no limit on the number of times you can enter.
And I reckon post your entries here along the way if you want. Optional, but interesting.
And yes I know this should be in Graphics Art and Design. I'll cross post using my immunity card.
Closing date - next Friday at Noon. Winner to be announced sometime around then!
UPDATE!
Our friends at Syntec saw this and have donated a set of Sennheiser PC160 headphones as a prize!

That's on top of whatever else I find to award the winner.

"It must be the same format as our existing icons. I'll advise the exact dimensions as soon as I can check with Dan."
Lock and Sticky are different dimensions.
Lock is 13x15
Sticky is 15x18 -----

Yep, thing I'm not sure about are the max acceptable dimensions. If a helpful web hero can clue me in - tops!
Otherwise I have to wait and see what Dan tells me. Sorry if that's an inconvenience, but Mr Poll's impact means now's the time to get it going! Even if I don't have all the details ironed out yet... -----
Yes.
