It's been 6 years since we last have an emoticon contest here on hive. And as Hive 2 came, with a new UI, I think we are ready for another new set of emotes to be added to the site's collection. Gather some ideas and suggestions folks!
Previouse Contest Themes:
Emoticon Challenge #1
Emoticon Contest #2 - Creeps!
Suggestions List:
Also, I think the criteria for judging needs to be revised. It is so outdated (2010). Recommendations/Suggestions for the revision of the criteria is appreciated!

Suggestions List:
Horde Leaders > create a set of emoticons based on the leaders of the Horde, Thrall, Garrosh, Sylvanas, etc. The emoticon could be based on only one unit but it could also be not.
Alliance Leaders > create a set of emoticons based on the leaders of the the Alliance, like Varian, Jaina, Muradin, etc. The emoticon could be based on only one unit but it could also be not.
StarCraft > create a set of emoticons based on any unit(s) from the StarCraft franchise.
Hive Workshop User Representation > create a set of emoticons representing any user on Hive. Take for example, Ralle. He could be represented as a Tauren or refer to his avatar.
Race Draft > Everyone picks a Warcraft 3 race (creep, demon, undead, whatever) and gets to draw X emoticons from that race. Each race cannot be picked twice. However, there can be 2 people for 1 race if the amount of participants becomes greater than the amount of races available.

Retro/classic game sprites > Either existing games or custom sprites made in the spirit of the 8/16 bit gaming era.
Think EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Mega Man, etc.

Quality | Is the emoticon well made? Are there floating white pixels? If it's animated, does the animation loop well? | /20 |
Originality | Is the idea original? Or has it been done to death before? | /10 |
Clarity | Is it easy to see what it's expressing without squinting? | /10 |
