Eh, a few hours late, but I couldn't get on the computer. :/ Anyways, here is the next challenge, and I hope you all make a little room in your schedule to submit an icon or two. :D And banners will be posted after this, I swear! xD
Theme 1: Splash of Color
This was an idea suggested by
sown at the opening of the community, and I thought it was cool. :) So, the basic format is to make a black and white icon with a little color on it (AKA the 'splash of color'). This can be done in a number of ways, from light textures to colored font to choosing a specific part of the icon to be in color (a shirt, lips, eyes, etc.).
Remember that the majority (at least 50%) of the icon must be black and white! Of course, questions can be directed to this entry. ;)
Theme 2: Bold
This is a really broad theme. It can be interperted in SO many ways! Bold color, bold textures/brushes, bold as part of text, and so forth. There should be no problem in thinking of an icon that fits this theme.
