Shamefully, I won't be able to participate, but good luck to all the contesters. Our iconers always succeeded in maintaining quality, I'm quite sure this won't be any different. Give 'em hell, boys and girl <3.

[X.e.r.e.X]

Hmm... If I get enough inspiration for this then I will participate in this for sure.

[GooS]

I am so in!

Hmm no only to see which icons would be fun to make.

[FrIkY]

I'm in, definitely! :D

Good luck everyone!

[frostwhisper]

[oh_snap]

I'm in, I guess. The only issue I have is that I don't have Wc3 currently installed, but I can always get the original blizzard icon concepts from someone.

Serious competition. Icon contests never cease to amaze me. I'm curious to see what you'll come up with.

[HyperActive]

I'll give it I try, seeing how I suggested the theme :). A month is a lot of time, and the worst thing that could happen is that I could get more familiar with photoshop.
