The Icon Library

Come check out the first weekly challenge at our icontest!
Summer Blockbusters @ nerd_icons!

nerd_icons has officially been converted into an icontest community. The first weekly challenge will go up on Monday, but there are lots of other types of challenges and things to do, so please check it out! :D It's multi-fandom, by the way - no nerd left behind. Going to feature the following - for the competitive and the not-so-competitive:

-Weekly Challenge
-Pick My Best
-10 Variations
-100 Icon Challenge

One more time, that's nerd_icons. Tell your friends. ;)

I don't want to see this community go to waste, so I'm going to open it up and allow people to post icons to it just as they would to pb_updates, etc. Post old or new icons, any sort - people, places, animals, things, stock, comics, adult content, etc. Thanks to those who tried! :D

Makers - please tell your friends! Let's get some icons up here. XD
