Iconny goodness!

How can I resist an iconny meme sheep whatchamacallit?

Gacked from lanfykins: tell me which of my icons you like best, and I'll tell you which I like best of yours.

I was wondering how long it would take you :-)
Problem with picking a favourite out of your icons is you have millions of them.
So I go for either icon obsessive because it is so appropriate or the triskell.

I like your dice one - simple, elegant design and good impact. I like the 'stackable' one 'cos it's that funny. But I think first prize has to go to the alien witch for a combination of looking good, being entertaining and originality.

[skorpionuk.livejournal.com]

Many many... I like the "cartoon me" ones, the cats, "worst witch", "fairies" and "la la la". Can't really pick a fave... and of course you should use them all!

What we need tho are ones with you on them :-)

[triskellian]

Huh. You just can't be bothered to look beyond my default and the one I'm using here ;-) I've only got 49, y'know, that's not so many!

I think I like your 'namib' icon best, which sort of surprises me. I like the way the line of the shadow goes.

[triskellian]

Mmm, I like this one, too. I should probably use it more often ;-)

My favourite of yours is 'Dom', because I like identifiable cartoons of people.

[triskellian]

This one is of me! And so's 'dress' (which is a bit of me in my wedding dress). I actually make a deliberate point of not using identifiable pictures of me, partly because I don't like how I look in photos, and partly because I try to avoid having any personal identifying information publicly available on here.

My favourite of yours is the anime-ish one - it's all pretty and wispy and wistful.

Given the struggle I've just had to get this -

below 100Kb, I'd have to agree you have a few too many ;-P
_{Press 'Esc' in mozilla to stop it at a random icon! Yay, your very own tombola!}

[skorpionuk.livejournal.com]

That seems fair enough - it was a selfish request on my part, because I think with photo evidence, I would have recognised you much sooner - but I guess that _was_ the point ;-)

Thank you. It came up on a google search for "skorpion" I think.

[skorpionuk.livejournal.com]

And it even works in MIE! Hoorah!

[triskellian]

Wow! Is that all of them? Cool! Sadly the size limit for icons is 40KB, otherwise I'd be using it right now ;-)

[al-fruitbat.livejournal.com]

Er... not quite... Some of them are animated, so I've tended to pick the best frame from those. It's most of them though. Unfortunately, to get the size down I had to compress quite drastically down to 32 colours so images with subtle gradients (e.g. 'purple and shiny' and your dress) have therefore suffered... But it works sort of OK ;-)

[leathellin.livejournal.com]

I'll have you know I looked at all of them :-)
I don't really like the cartoon portraits as much as a lot of people so I wasn't going to vote for one of those. I do like several others but the triskell isn't just a good picture it is a good icon.

Don't mind me, just passing through...

Re: GIC

[triskellian]

Oooh, pretty! One you saw?

Re: GIC

[leathellin.livejournal.com]

Yes. I've been meaning to iconify it for a while but I had to find the CD with the photos on first.

Which has also reminded me I need to website the best ones at some point. Sigh.

[lathany.livejournal.com]

The halloween one. Only I prefered the pre-shot ghost.

[triskellian]

Hee! While you were replying to my post, I was replying to yours!

If Halloween had been on an LJ day a work day this year, I'd have resurrected the ghost for some more trick or treating, but in the end I didn't get round to it. Maybe next year!

I like your default best - I like the sort of half-grin, and the hand on hip. Plus it's cute ;-)

[lathany.livejournal.com]

I ought to go back to paid account status and scan in the one bateleur did of Ems with the headphones on. That's really cute.

[smiorgan.livejournal.com]

I liked these:

kaylee
names
aclv
wedding
la la la la la

But the one I like most isn't there anymore - the picture of a few strands of red hair.

[triskellian]

Hmm... maybe I should bring the red hair one back into my regular rotation.

I like your Bender icon, predictably. Actually, I like almost all the icons I made for you ;-) Especially the special bus and bike ones.
