There's one week left in our round #44, the icon alphabet, and we already have one entry with a full table! There's still time to start now: See the challenge post here.
If you've already started, remember that you don't have to have the whole table filled to be able to participate. If time runs out and X still has you stumped, post what you have.
The deadline is on Friday, November 13.

Round #44 - icon_alphabet
Oct. 17th, 2026 12:17 pmtinnyLet's do something fun and easy! The ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
icon_alphabet comm had no separate challenges, just one overarching theme:
Claim a topic and make an icon for every letter of the alphabet.
Challenge Rules foricon_alphabet
Icon Alphabet is an icon challenge community where members accept the challenge to create a set of 26 icons from their favourite movie, tv show, actor or actress. Each icon is centered around a theme that corresponds to a letter of the alphabet.
ORIGINAL CHALLENGE RULES - for reference
Rules:
FAQ:
Q: I did icons for Q, X, and Z first (you know, just to get them over with), do I have to post in order, or can I post whichever I've finished with?
A: Feel free to post in whichever order you've completed them, they don't have to be posted in alphabetical order. Just make sure you specify which letters you've completed!
Q: Can we use abstract concepts, as well as concrete items?
A: Definitely! If you feel that one icon you made really portrays, say, anger, you can use that as your A icon.
You can use this provided table if you like:
NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory
Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit. Think a bit about how difficult/easy it will be to make 26 icons for a given theme, how difficult you want to make the challenge for yourself, and choose accordingly.
There are four empty cells (27-30) at the end of the table, feel free to put non-latin characters in there (even emojis).
-> there is no official claiming here - you only have to be accountable to yourself. it doesn't matter if you icon the same thing someone else does.
-> claims rules are also not mandatory: you can claim anything, including "stock".
-> please only make one post this round, even if the original comm allowed you to post in batches.
-> you don't have to have the whole alphabet finished or in order, just post what you have by the end of the round.
-> list the themes you used along with the corresponding letter.
-> 1 icon minimum (no maximum).
-> submit your icons as a new entry into the community. if there are more than five, put the rest under a cut or a link to your unlocked journal post. tag your post with round number and your username (or ask me to tag it for you).
-> submit the URLs along with your icons. I'll only put the first five per person into the roundup post. Either you only list five, or I'll take the first five.
-> make an effort to leave positive feedback on other participants' posts. <3
-> read the full rules here in our userinfo.
Each challenge will run for roundabout four weeks. There is no voting. I will make a roundup post containing up to 5 icons per person after every challenge. Challenges run roughly mid-month to mid-month every month.
Deadline for round #44: Friday, November 13th 2026 your end-of-day.

Thank you to all our lovely participants! This time we had no trouble filling the calendar! I took the first five from everyone, and that was exactly enough for 30 days. Yay! \o/
( you take to the sky - this is our roundup post in calendar form: 30 icons by 6 makers! So pretty! )
Three of us made icons for the old calendar from 2023 as well, and I added those now, so that calendar is now also full! \o/

With a rush, September banishes summer and brings everything back to business. It's this burst of energy that brings in autumn.
This month is a color combination challenge.
Please use both of the featured colors in your icon submissions!
COLOR CODES
(click on the badges to see the color codes)
( you take to the sky )
ORIGINAL RULES - for reference only
■ You may submit up to four (4) icons maximum.
■ Icons must prominently feature the color of the month, both colors from a combo challenge, or at least two colors from a palette challenge. As long as your use of the colors is clear, anything goes.
■ All fandoms are welcomed from animation, comic books, musicians, movies, stock phography, to video games, anime, books, and anything else. Just be sure to use official artwork only (no fan art).
■ You may share your icons outside of this community whenever you wish. Even if they have not been revealed on the calendar yet.
■ If your birthday is this month, please be sure to include it in your submission! We'll be sure to give you a shoutout on your special day.
■ If you have any questions, please be sure to ask. I'm always happy to help.
NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory
Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit.
This round, you must follow the color rule (bolded).
■ this month we'll fill a calendar, i.e. 30 days, since the challenge is called September. i will not fill the calendar daily like cool_spectrum used to do, i'll only post the roundup post in calendar format this time - after the challenge has ended. if your birthday is in September, and you mention this in your post, one of your icons will be used for that day.
■ you may enter as many icons as you like. minimum 1 icon.
■ PLEASE don't stop at 4 icons! the original limit of 4 icons per person means we'll need eight participants to fill the calendar. if you want to make more than four, please do! we didn't manage to fill the calendar last time, maybe we'll make it this time?
■ i'll fill up the calendar round-robin-style from all participants, and add leftover icons as alts to the end. everyone will be represented in the calendar, and if we should end up with more than 30 icons, that's not a problem! (i just hope we won't end up with less again. i'm counting on you! <3)
■ submit your icons as a new entry into the community. if there are more than three, put the rest under a cut or a link to your unlocked journal post. tag your post with round number and your username (or ask me to tag it for you).
■ submit the URLs along with your icons. i'll only put the first five per person into the roundup post (unless we need more to fill the calendar, then i'll use more).
■ make an effort to leave positive feedback on other participants' posts. <3
■ read the full rules here in our userinfo.
■ In fact, since we were missing nine icons last time, we could try to fill it up this time? If you want to submit some for the previous calendar, in addition to the current one, you are welcome to do so! The palette is here: round #03. Just post them along with your icons for round 43 and I'll put them into the round 03 calendar.
Challenges run roughly mid-month to mid-month every month. This challenge will run for four weeks. There is no voting. I will make a roundup post in the form of a calendar.
