yeah.
THE SHITTY ICON MEME
let's make fun of ourselves!
Lol, these aren't my oldest icons, for sure. I know I blaaaaleted a lot of em! These, my friends, were the keepers. Oldest is from March 2003. Most of these were made in ArcSoft Photo Impression.
ICON #1: When It All Began
Your First Shitty Icon
ICON #2: Just Slap Some Text On There!
The Unnecessarily Wordy Icon (I did do a lot of wall-of-text icons, which is kind of the opposite of this trope... there was a meaning for the text, but the rest of the icon looked ugly.)
ICON #3: It Doesn't Matter What It Says
The Unreadable Font Icon (As you might guess from the above icon + explanation, I was kind of a stickler about having readable text for a reason. I've been forced to do tinytext on icons as parts of challenges, and it always makes me want to shank someone, and the icon gets deleted immediately. This is about as bad as my text ever got.)
ICON #4: It Just Needs A Little Something...
Severe Texture Abuse
ICON #5: But Everyone Else Is Doing It!
The Shameful Trendwhore Icon! (Don't tell me you never had a "my fandom likes to [something suggestive]" icon!)
ICON #6: The Technicolor Nightmare!
The I-Don't-Know-What-I'm-Doing Coloring Icon!
FINALLY: NOW WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
Six Of My Most Recent Icons!
