→ Voting will last 24+ hours. The results will be posted at around 12pm(GMT) on the 13th (sunday). It would be appreciated if you voted, though you are not required to. You do not need to be a participant to vote.
→ Vote for 2 icons of LEAST quality. Vote according to lesser quality. Do not vote according to personal taste or your vote will not be counted (keep the words "I don't like..." out of your votes). Just because you don't like an icon doesn't mean it's the worst quality. Include a valid reason with each icon you vote off. If you do not provide an explanation as to why you're voting an icon off, your vote WILL NOT be counted. We will inform you if you need to change something with your comment. Think carefully about your choices. Look at things like image quality, cropping, coloring, brushwork and text placement. Keep in mind that the icon makers will probably be reading the reasons for your vote. Be critical, but not too rude and don't attack a style or technique in general.
→ Also, vote for one favorite. You are not required to give a reason, although you are welcome to, if you'd like. Don't vote for your own icon.

Here's an example of how to vote:

43: The icon is very blurry and the color doesn't compliment the screencap.
68: The texture is overpowering and the image is oversharpened.
75: The brush is distracting and takes away from the quality of the icon.

Favorite: 30

So you may have noticed- round two has not begun. Summer is fun, summer is long and summer calls a lot of people away from their computers soooo I thought with a com so small summer was a good time to give you all a break. Now that we're all back in the swing of things, round two will begin  Monday October 1st.
