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!

The entire Tango icon set has been made... For free. Without even ANY reward. So, what is your issue here? There are enough people out there who *enjoy* making icons (I am actually one of those, I am making my own iconset, but that one isn't suitable for OSNews), and are more than willing to do it for free.
In fact, I know enough graphic designers who would create those icons for OSNews for free, just out of being nice. However, I chose to make a nice contest out of it, giving everybody an equal chance - even people I do not know.
I do it to be nice, but if you don't appreciate that, fine. Just please don't come off as an ass doing so.
