Ok, we're nearly a week late, but better late than never right? After a grueling round of user voting, and some tough decisions for our judges from Neowin, BetaNews, DeviantArt, Microangelo and WinCustomize, we have our icon winners! The winners came right down to the wire, the the top seven icon sets all within 10 points of each other. What this meant was it was anyone's game right up until the very last judge. Whoever our last judge picked as their #1 choice, could very well have won the event. This was why we waited so long to post the results, because that final vote cast could completely change who won.
As I've said several times, these are some of the best icons we've ever seen. The level of quality and detail in many of them was simply staggering.
And remember, while we've done Most Original and Most Usable, the biggest icon event is still to come: Best Overall Icon Package. This event will focus on not just usability, or originality, but on finding the best overall icon package submitted to the contest. This is where some of the big prizes start to come out.
Today's winners account for the next $350 in prize money, not to mention the stack of software and subscriptions. Congrats to all of our winners! Expect the Most Original Icon Package winners to be announced on Friday.
