Icons for your software products. Favorites.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who participated in action. Interesting programs needing the icon was much more than I expected and the choice was not easy. To enhance the intrigue will lead to the beginning of the list of criteria that I was guided in the selection:
the

the
• missing icons, bad or taken from clipart icon;
the
• focus on the Russian-speaking market or the presence of localization;
the
• readiness of the program – preference for finished and working products;
the
• free programs;
the
• availability of the application from the developer;
the
• the size of the required icons – I am primarily interested in programs that need in a big beautiful icons (small, of course, will be attached thereto);

the popularity of the program – I want to icon be able to enjoy not only the developers but more users :)

So, three lucky winners get:

the
• DaemonI and qutIM
the
• Aidsoid and the eponymous Viewer
the
• and Liksys and lightlang

They will receive a gift for the New Year icon in sizes from 256x256 to 16x16.

In addition bonus group (which is still NPD, and I find it difficult to refrain from good deeds) are the following developers and products:
the

the
• koreec and . will get the icon in sizes 16x16 and 32x32;
the
• Mezomish text editor get icon 16x16+48x48;
the
• dust and the plugin loading images and photos for TinyMCE will be the owners of the icons are 20x20.

But most likely it will be after the New Year. About the icon for Total Commander-and I promise to think about :)

All other participants can count on Christmas (and not only) discounts, benefits in the following actions by the Council and other good deeds on my part. Love to conserval everyone, but when it is needed and on bread with caviar to earn ;)

The results of the development of promotional icons will be public. So the New Year will please you and myself on another post.

In conclusion, everyone want to ask you to answer 3 questions:
the

the
• Why your software product needs an icon, and what, in your opinion, the criteria of its quality?
the
• Describe the 3 biggest of their problems (related to your product and development icons for it).
the
• Describe the 3 most strong of your desire (related with your product and development icons for it).

The information obtained will be used by me in writing the book "Creating icons: 5 simple steps" and also for personal purposes :) Developed in the course of the action icons will illustrate the book and used in the portfolio the website.
