1. All icons must adhere to the established icon rules.
2. Active and disabled versions of all icons are required.
3. No plain screenshots (or shallowly modified) icons are permitted.
4. The icons must be made specifically for the contest. No previous works are allowed.
5. Blizzard icon naming conventions must be followed: BTNAttack*.blp etc.
   • Example: DISBTNHoldPositionBlackDoom.blp
6. Works in progress (WIPs) of the icons are encouraged as they keep the contest active.
7. The icons must be physically attached to a post when complete. (.blp files only!)

Judging (HappyTauren and Werewulf):

• 50% of the score will determined by a public poll. The rest of the score will be determined by one or more specialized judges.
• Critical judging elements for both voters and specialized judges are:
  • Creativity. The icons' originality and uniqueness are vitally important.
  • Blizzard feeling. Icons should be executed in such a manner that they can be implemented in a Warcraft map and compliment other Blizzard icons.
  • Technical Note. The quality of the icons is the most important thing. They must be detailed yet clear (throwing a lot of elements in a 64x64 image will usually look crowded).
  NOTES: If your entry was not show its entry post or file was not uploaded with its entry post. Your icons may have not followed the rules.

 

[Rui]

Great entries everyone.

TDR's icons were clearly the best, though.

 

[Septimus]

TDR entry look the best especially the tsunami icon.

 

[Pyritie]

TDR's were great but sansui's were also very good.

 

[Septimus]

Sansui icon are good, but it seems to be too dark.

 

[BlinkBoy]

TDR For the Win! [starts counting teh money for voting in favor of TDR], .

Actually TDR's are very good, sansui's are good but they lack something.

 

[MasterHaosis]

This is first time I comment competition.
Well I like the most CombatWombat's icons!

 

[General Frank]

Three letters: TDR. Period.

 

[frostwhisper]

Though Sansui's icons were made extremely well, TDR's ones had character, if ya know what I mean. Besides, their colors are flawless.

So my vote goes to TDR, but my applause go to the rest of the competitors, and I'm gonna rep Sansui for a job so well done.

 

[Technomancer]

Similiarly to frostie, my vote goes to TDR, and I am going to rep Sansui for his icons because they are amazing. But I truly had a difficult time deciding on who I voted for. The ONLY reason I voted for TDR's over Sansui's was because TDR's icons felt ever so slightly more to fit in with other Warcraft 3 icons. But San, well deserved rep coming your way regardless.

 

[D a w n]

My vote goes to TDR, altough Sansui´s icons were also great, but I think TDR´s icons are more warcraft-ish

 

[FamousPker49]

I seem to agree with everyone here. TDR's were great, and so were Sansui's but Sansui's lacked that... "it" factor. Great job though!

 

[SuPa-]

It's safe to say TDR wins... xD

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Ezhekiel did a pretty damn good job too.

I'd say it's a tie between Sansui and TDR in terms of quality, but TDR sticked more to the theme. TDR pretty much wins this.

 

[Hawkwing]

Ezikielth. I think TDR's Icons are the best but he already has 20 votes, my vote wouldn't affect his chances of winning by much. I like TDR's use of people in his icons but I love how clear and interesting Ezikielth's are, lovely colors too.

 

[Someguy19]

Tbh, I think Sansui's are the best. TDR's seem a bit odd and cartoony. I like the lightning and fire ones though. I also like Ezikielth's icons.
I feel as if people randomly voted TDR, like common, he has over 20 votes when the others have less than five.

 

[TDR]

indeed, totally random. I don't deserve any of those votes.

 

[frostwhisper]

I, for one, know you deserve mine. For the others, I cannot tell.

 

[donut3.5]

I voted for Ez, mostly because his were the only ones I could really see fitting into War3. I didn't think they were the highest quality of all of them, I have to say Sansui won my vote there, but TDR's and Sansui's almost looked a bit too high quality for the standard warcraft 3 look.
--donut3.5--

 

[TDR]

way to go, CombatTheWombat....

 

[Infinitynexus]

Sansui's lack color and anything interesting to look at imo. Style didnt fit too well either.

TDR's icons scream of quality, but sadly the style is also off

 

[kewlthis]

TDR´s icons are superior...gj

 

[Kwah]

I went for Ez's Icons as they were simple and I could see using them in a map. Many of the others were more artistic, but too complicated and specific to fit many spells/units/items or whatever.

 

[Someguy19]

Rofl, CombatTheWombat actually voted for himself. :O

 

[frostwhisper]

Guess he was desperate. Having no votes and all...
Still a stupid thing to do though...

 

[forzamoto]

Im just going to say TDR

 

[Kimbo]

Judges will soon do their work, however my fellow judge parter HappyTauren doesnt seem to be very active, so dont expect a review straight up.

 

[Pyritie]

Has HT made a review yet?

 

[Kimbo]

no :/

 

[Pyritie]

Is he going to?

 

[Kimbo]

I..really dont know..

 

[Pyritie]

Should we just go with your review + public poll then?
