1) Vote for the three worst sets of icons. Votes should be based on the set as a whole, not on one icon in the set. This means that consider the problems an icon maker consistently exhibits in the set. Votes should be unbiased. This means that you cannot vote for a set because you do not like icons that use texture or icons that are visually simplistic. In other words, vote based on quality, not your personal aesthetics. A good quality icon exhibits good and appropriate use of cropping, aspect ratio, coloring, sharpening, brushwork, textures, and text. Please include advice to each sets' icon maker
Do not use personal statements in your voting. Express yourself critically, specifically, and concisely without the use of words or phrases such as boring, IMO, weird, ordinary, etc. Remember that this competition is not about trends and popularity. Your voting for each set should consist of at least two sentences.
2) Also vote for your favorite set. This vote can be based on opinion of style as well as quality. You are not required to give a reason, but its always nice to get positive reinforcement for good work.
It's getting more and more difficult to vote but I beg you to vote anyways. We had very few votes last round and I hope this round will see a bigger turn-out.
