Spring Rumble 2017 - Round 02
Do you love celebrating milestones, getting sentimental, and laughing at how
ugly everybody used to be? It's your lucky day, because Thursday has become a
celebration of all those wonderful things as we throwback to our finer and funnier days.
The best part? You can share it with all of your friends and followers, too!
TBTOur Spring Rumbles are inspiration based. Use the following resources
to interpret the theme Throwback Thursday through your icon. Feel free to
explain your concept if it seems too understated.
KEYWORDS
origin, awkward, obsolete, album, remember,
retro, forgotten, favorites, story, dated.
ICONS
(hover for maker information)
My apologies to non-animation icon makers for the lack of TV/Movie representation. Most
of the icons included in this post are truly retro, and back when I was an icon making n00b
I was only involved in anime fandoms. I believe the techniques shown in the icons above
are universal, but if you feel uninspired by what is shown here, I encourage you to revisit
your own icon making past, which would be in keeping with the theme this week as well.

THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR
BONUS POINTS
Earn extra points by including these bonus themes in your submisson! You will receive +1 point per theme.
+ Thursday is named after the god of thunder, Thor. Thor is famously described as being red-haired and red-bearded. For this theme, you must icon a redheaded character.
+ Throwback Thursday is all about celebrating the past, so new or fairly recent snapshots aren't considered acceptable when sharing these oldies but goodies on social media. For this bonus point, icon a series or movie that has been over for at least three years. Please include the date of the release or last aired episode when submitting your icon.
+ Because Tuesday and Thursday both begin with the letter T, Thursday is usually abbreviated Th. Incorporate a word that begins with 'Th' in your submission
