CHALLENGE: HAPPY NEWS YEAR 2

This challenge idea by Trigonomicon was a hit. And it was quite useful for us too, so we decided to give it another go.

Your challenge is to create an icon that can be used for future news posts.


Based on our year long experience we can group icon types into 3 categories:

1) Icons that we need a significant number of, becasue we use them frequently (high chance your icon will be used):

- Top Commenter & Faves

- Monthly top art

- Generic Anouncement

- Group picture collab

- Nonspecified collab 

2) Icons that we already have enough of for the rare use they need (low chance your icon will be used), however, it is totally ok to make them for this challenge, especially if you have a cool idea.

- Secret Santa

- Pixelween

- Palette contest

- ISO Collab

3) Icons we will never use, becasue they are automated and we cannot manually chose them:

- Weekly challenge anouncement, voting and awards.

Canvas size: Exactly 50x50.

Colours: Max 32.

Transparency: Encoraged, but optional.

Animation: Optional.
