Yep there is no end to this! So its not really a contest, but it also is because I called it one Please do make something, a lot of the graphics posted here end up being used on the forum in some way!

made a downscaled version of my neo ice cream! it was a bit rough when i downscaled it so i adjusted it just for it to be right. any opinions?
i could see myself using this icon when it gets added to talk about deserts & sweets!

had to edit the message alot as there were alot of errors on the original icon i made

The final icons should be 32x32px gifs, animated or non-animated.

Can it be a still PNG8 (256-color palettized PNG) or an animated APNG8 (0) instead, so that attribution metadata (1) could properly be retained?

Note that I release my artworks --including icons-- under copyleft terms; and in such case, proper metadata fields are essential.

And if these are allowed, is partial transparency allowed too? (3) Or submissions must use 1-bit alpha channel like traditional GIF files?


(0) You know, Mozilla's backward-compatible animated variant of PNG. (And did you know that animated version of GIF also came from Netscape/Mozilla too?)

(1) GIF only has a single freeform metadata text field with no meaning associated to it; unlike PNG, which has Title, Artist, Copyright, Description, among other things.

(2) Unlike GIF which uses a special "transparent" palette entry, PNG8 allows color in each palette entry to specify its own 8-bit alpha value.

Can it be a still PNG

This is a thread for forum graphics which are all done in gif format and are often hard coded to expect a gif extension name. The requirement is not a rebuke of PNGs, its just whats required
