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!

This is actually the exact answer I expected. This is fine. No one wants to understand why there are so few people in the graphic design scene to join open-source projects. If you hang around on graphic design forums, you will understand what I mean. Most of the guys hate open-source software (except maybe Firefox) just because of the negative mindset of the open-source community towards them. The Tango and CrystalClear icon sets are the exceptions to the rule. If you take a peek at the KDE-Look and Gnome-Look web sites you'll see that almost no artwork is done by graphic designers and therefore look like poop. But no one wants to admit it.
