Star OSNews' Icon Contest
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 16th Sep 2007 20:41 UTC
Gifts, Contests, Easter Eggs 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!

No, they simply lost. That's what a COMPETITION means.

This is why it's just plain wrong to do it. This is like considering graphic design as just a poor job that is only worth...A contest. Like on an assembly line: Produce in mass and throw away all that doesn't meet the quality requirements. The difference is that graphic design is done by human beings, during their free time, and their time is as valuable as yours, so is their work.

Are you being intentionally dense?

Whats your point? OSS code is written by human beings in their free time. This contest is no different from other ones, including code contests. Some have expensive prices, some don't. That's why you can, you know, *choose* which ones to enter.
Don't want to "waste" your free time? DONT ENTER.
It's not rocket science.
