Ok so I thought I’d explain the previous journal. =E-motive and myself have been given the ok to write up a news article about icons/iconists. We had considered it being purely about emoticons but we thought it was stepping on the toes of the Emote Expo by =Zikes and *livius and thought we should try and encompass all of the sub-groups with the icons gallery.

Its going to be a challenge as =E-motive is an emoticonist and I am an Avatarist. Both important parts of the icons gallery but there are plenty of other sub-groups that need to be covered, this is where we'd like you to come in. Basically we want to turn this into a real community thing. If you know of any iconists you feel really shine or aren't quite getting the recognition they deserve let one of us know and we'll try and feature them. There will also be an interview section each edition, so you can also put forward iconists you'd like to see interviewed, or maybe just volunteer yourself if you feel you have something to say.

The artists/images can be from the following groups:

# Avatars
# Buddy Icons
# Cursors
# Dock Icons
# Emoticons
# IconPackager
# Miscellaneous
# mp3ext
# OS Icons
# Signature Banners

Please get involved, we really want this thing to do well. The first issue should be out next saturday

With thanks to =brokenboulevard for the stamp
