retro_icontestOkay, we'll start this comm off with something small, to ease our way into this. I chose a challenge fitting for this comm's theme in general: Nostalgia!

iconsomething in February 2017 here . Thank you so much to applepips for allowing us to use it!
If you yourself are a mod of an (old, closed) comm, and you'd like to allow us to revisit some of your challenges, let me know! I'm currently in the process of PMing mods of older comms, but it'll take a while. All the comms we currently have permission for are listed in the masterlist here.

The challenge this week is to icon subjects that evoke a strong sense of nostalgia in you. Like shows from your childhood, your favourite actors when you were younger etc.
ORIGINAL RULES - for reference only
You can icon anything from TV, Film, Cartoons, Animation, Celebrities, Stock, Videogames, Bands etc
You may enter up to 3 icons for a challenge.
NEW RETRO_ICONTEST RULES - mandatory
Consider the original challenge rules and try to stick to them in spirit. Our new rules are less strict, but you may find it fun to try and meet the original requirements, e.g. regarding specific fandoms or other restrictions.
-> you may use other source material than specified (depending on the source comm, some may have been very restrictive).
-> you may enter as many icons as you like. minimum 1 icon.
-> submit your icons and URLs 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).
-> 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 with all icons after every challenge. The general plan is to go from mid-month to mid-month every month.
Deadline for round #01: April 15th 2023
