As some of you may have noticed by now, OSNews has started using icons from the Tango Project to replace many of our old icons. You can spot the new icons conveniently on the topic page. In the Tango icon library we have found numerous icons we could use, but understandably, Tango was not made for OSNews: we cannot replace all the icons we want with Tango icons - yet. And this is where you come into play. So, read on for the rationale behind choosing the Tango icon set, and how you can help us - and win a subscription to our ad-free version!

Would you organize a contest for the best device driver coding? No. So why asking for tens of people to create icons, spend their time and throw away 90% of them? You will say "If you don't want to participate, don't". Ok, but still. The open-source community is complaining that open-source application look like crap, yet you always consider graphic designers as idiots. If you want a good job in graphic design for the open-source, contract a professional designer, don't rely of poor/stupid freelancers. Don't be surprised if there are so few graphic designers interested in helping out or to give their free time. What about the "reward"? Isn't this ridiculous? When the reward is so small, it's better not to offer anything at all instead of insulting the guys. I mean, come on, are his hours or evenings of work worth only an OSN subscription? What about the others who "lost"? Screw them? I hope one day the open-source community will realize how they treat graphic designers and respect more their work. If I could draw these icons, I would definitely not help, for these reasons. Argh...This drives me so mad...!
