We have twelve winners since we had 4 tie for 9 and 10 place. Everyone did an excellent job. :);):o:(
First I'd like to thank my mum, my dad and all those who supported me....
No really, thanks to those voted - I never thought the way to a webmasters heart would be a fried Egg :)
Niceone to all the other members who found the time to enter, tough competition, and if I counted right it was a close call.
Next time we do this maybe I'll plumb for more food, or perhaps a few beer icons. A wee pint icon would be fun. Guinness or stella perhaps.
Shame you never got to see my sausage ;)
Cheers

I am one of those non-creative-types and thus very jealous of the talent. I didn't enter the icon-a-thon because at best I would've produced an unrecognizable fuzzy thing.
Why is it that all of a sudden I have a strange craving for an omelette?
..time for another contest?
How about another Shrink-a-Thon [webmasterworld.com]?

I have always thought mini icons were neat - very hard to do (for me and my limited tools) - mind if I ask what was used to create them?
I used Fireworks4. This for me is one of if not the best web image editing tools available. The websafe palette made keeping it to 216 pretty easy. Only you cannot export files as .ico :( so to actually use them you would need Iconsushi (free to download) or another inconographer.
In this contest, I believe we had people using Fireworks, Microangelo and MS Paint (and if you can make an icon with THAT, you can do it with almost any software... ;) ).
I like using Iconographer on Macintosh. Icon Forge is available for Windows I believe... both are good if you want a dedicated icon editing program, which is almost necessary if you want to conveniently design high-end icons for your operating system. (OTOH, some of the best Mac System icons I've seen online were created with Apple's resource editor: ResEdit)
If you're just looking to make icons for your website interface, any program that outputs .gif or .png files will work.
If you want to make a favicon for your site, you just need a program that will output .ico files.

Good Idea - What though. Its gotta be simple like the last one so i can use my favourite image editing program again - MS Paint.
BTW what happens now with the icons?
:)eggy ricardo :)
..time for another contest?
What about a contest to see the who can script the most useful and inventive code to be placed in the
Custom Code Insert Top?
HTML Code to insert under menu bar at top of page (max 500 chars)
Custom Code Insert Bottom?
HTML Code to insert at bottom of page (max 500 chars)
in the system preferences section
The 500 character limit makes it tough to fit in much but I have adorned my WW skin with extras - top and bottom.
Problem here would be viewing it - I suppose judges would have to paste competitors html and submit to judge?
Just a random thought as I update my footer with a new link
Ta
Uhhh? Ever heard of iframes? ;)
BTW great icon's all.
BTW what happens now with the icons?
Curious as to this as well. :) Weren't they supposed to go on the Sticky Mail Icons [webmasterworld.com] page?
When Brett gets some time he will make a decision on adding them. Thanks everyone for the entries.
