Call for a new icon

After almost a year without blogging, I decided to shake the community a bit, while we try to find the time to finish the next release. For ages, we've been trying to find a new icon for the application. Very recently, two of our users sent their proposals, so I though why not just announce a sort of contest (with no prize for the winner besides getting all the fame and honor of being the SpeedCrunch's icon author :)

That said, all icons will be considered if they're available in SVG format, and come with a license that allows us to use it freely (including modifying it).

Sending us your icon is very simple, you just need to upload it here. You're free to upload as many as you want.

The deadline is October 15. The winner will be announced shortly after that. The decision will be taken by the core developers, and we can of course consider the users' opinions, expressed on the mailing list or here.

Happy design, and I hope we can deliver the new SpeedCrunch to you soon.

UPDATE: due to no time at all to dedicate to the project ATM, the icon contest deadline will be prolonged for undetermined time. The idea is still to have a new icon for the new release though.
