When submitting your work you will have to add a link to the original image so that we can see how much your colouring has done for the icon.

c)
Not acceptable examples:
d)
While the colouring is amazing it was achieved with the help of textures.
e)
Another great example of colouring usage, yet a dark shadow has been added at the top making it not-acceptable.
f)
Interesting colouring yet it's not the main focus of the icon, the blur on the background and the white box are what make it especial.

Text Challenge: Celebration Day by Led Zeppelin
Her face is cracked from smiling,
All the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting,
Cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to go.
(Chorus)
My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing and celebration,
We are in the promised land.
She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door.
Her name is brown or white or black,
You know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell.
(Chorus)
There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination,
But the price you pay has increased a dollar more.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there
Tho it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan.
