I WILL BE VOTING AND MAYBE SUBMITING :O

I shall vote and try to come up with some nice designs.

voet

I'm in for voting.

I don't see what was wrong with the original icons. >:

I don't think it's going to get much better than Entry 3.

i'm in.:)

I liked the checkmarks too. It was simple and you didn't even really need a legend to tell you what the symbols ment.

Yes, for example, EVERYONE knows at first glance that "blue checkmark in a box" means "new posts in this thread" and that is why vb's default shit is written in the universal language of love and shut up

The point is that we should probably not use the default icons because that is totally gay.

Like a grey pickle is any less ambiguous.

The point wasn't that the new icons were less ambiguous, it's that the old ones don't serve any purpose other than being the default graphics.

If you licensed the doom engine, would you leave cacodemons in your game?

I can't argue with you, no matter what you said. You're a smart guy, you know that? What's wrong with the defaults if the new icons look like utter shit?

besides, I like my submissions better.

We'll put it to a vote and if people like the old icons better they'll stay. I think that was stated in the first post but I can't be bothered to check.

I'll vote, then.

I WILL VOTE

I love Fathom's submissions but I'm guessing this is a serious submission type thread :pfft

I don't think we have enough people voting in here.

I shall vote AS WELL. I'll probably try my hand at designing too. Also, I am horrified that zelda is allowed to vote.

Hah hah, it's a good thing I still saved my submissions.

They weren't actually submitted since they weren't sent via PM.

fuuuuck, entry 6 is fantastic :o

I will vote because im too lazy to enter :/
