Stippi, hasn't voted already started? Jorge made the anouncement. Do
we have to vote again? I don't think I'll vote for the ones I hate,
but for the one I like best.
my comment from osnews
How is a red smear supposed to represent a picture ?
I like Ponkan best, especially the Mondrian-esque picture icon, but
not the blocky people icon.
On the classic beos look, I like Zumi (Sue me?) slightly over Stippi
and Stippi over Mc Clintock.
I really like the package icon for Zumi that displays the file
extension / file type on the flag.
I prefer Zumi's folder over Stippi's because I like the black lines.
Stippi's hard disk has better lights. I've often wanted to take a
wrench (spanner to you Brits) to my monitor, but think it's a little
weird.
I like the "CD" text on the Mc Clintock cd icon, but not the yellowish
paper in the folder and not the filing cabinet for the hard disk drive
nor the soft shadow on the inside of the recycle bin. I prefer the
crisp, hard-light look. It would be neat if the CD text changed for
different media.
I like the Honey icon set, especially the hard disk icon, but why a
translucent folder ? I also like the realistic looking trash bag, but
do you actually use one in your recycle bin ? Where's the dog ? The
blocks are a bit dark. Lastly, I think the cd-rom's hole is too big.
I really like 575 (3rd or 4th place in my book) I think the colors on
the blocks and lego head are a bit over saturated, and the picture
icon looks Windows-esque or a like a viagra tablet.
I love the green check mark. Green means go !
Miqlas, I like your individualism. Did you draw these with a stylus or
a mouse? What did you do to the yellow block ? Why the small recycle
bin? You went outside the lines (purple smear) in the cd-rom icon,
otherwise I like the cd-rom icon. I like your text, picture, and
people icon, but the archive icon is ugly.
