Does anyone know when the next icon upload is? Tomorrow, right?

Anyway, I've missed it so many times now that I have a whole mess of icons that I've made and I can't make up my mind which one to use! Which do you guys like best?

And this one isn't mine, but I think a forum member now has it so if you're him and you want it, grab it! image

    I think the second one would look nice as an icon.

    I'm getting about 25% red-X'es on those pics, but of the ones I saw, I liked this one the most, I think:

    (Oh, there they all are- it took three page reloads.)

    I like the Sassanian coin, too. It jumps out at you, despite the small size pic. It's not easy finding coins that will "iconize" nicely in a small picture.

    (BTW, I need you to PM me your snailmail address. I got your coins from my antique mall booth. I can mail 'em to you and you can pay me when you get 'em, if you like. I probably have your addy in my PM history somewhere, but shoot it to me again so I don't have to dig for it.)

    PM sent to LM!

    Yeah, I really like that Sassanid one image

    And you're exactly right.. its a royal pain getting things to come out nicely so small! (I admit most of these didn't come out so great.. but I like the coins so I thought I'd try, and then pawn off the decision on you guys image )

    I can't pick just one favorite from that group. I think I'd go with either #1, #3 or #4. Or that shield thingie at the end is pretty cool, too.

    Lot of help, aren't I image

    image Nah.. we can't all be that cool image



    Added another row of choices.. man, this is tough!

    While I'm at it, since that DOA just doesn't come out as an icon let me post the big reimaged version image

    I liked the Thai ATT myself. IT's different and you don't see many Thai coins here in the forumimage

    Well, I was playing around when the upload got turned off so I guess I'll use this French one... So much for decisions! image

    BTW, if it does come back on on Monday and anyone wants to use any of these, by all means feel free. Just keep the filename the same, please. image

    I like #1 as an icon, although they're all neat.
