With 1.7 we’ll have the capability of putting an icon to the left of FinalScoreMC in the server list, as seen below.
So flex those creative muscles and open up your image editor. Submissions must be a 64×64 PNG image. You’ll have about a week to design it before we put them up for a vote, after which it’ll be our server icon for at least the duration of Minecraft 1.7. If the votes are tight, we might cycle through them. I’ll even throw in 500 coins to the winner(s), just because <3

I has idea.
Where should we send our submissions? Host and post a link, shoot you an email, carrier pigeon?
However you are able. There are many ways. If you don’t know how, it’s a good time to learn. 🙂
Took me a few tries to find an idea I was happy with, but here’s what I ended up with:
Constructive criticism is of course totally welcome. I can tweak the background, add some small text (worried that may be cluttered, but still), whatever.
Ooo, that’s pretty good. For some reason I hadn’t thought about the gradient background, even though I did that on this website.
You can use this if you want.

I think the framing could be a little better. Maybe frame the X and let the shadow go off the edge of the image. (and yes, I like the nonsensical but very MC-like circle shadow)
Thanks for the feedback (and the background image) PK, I incorporated it here:
I tried the center framing before and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. It goes either way, since either the shadow is cut off or the X isn’t centered… I can dig both solutions unless a better one comes along. I’d hate to lose my circle shadow lol.
PS, looks like my avatar doesn’t register my skin because display IDs are case sensitive and I strangely entered it in lowercase… Would you mind tweaking that when you have a free second?
I should add that multiple submissions are welcome.
Due to slow submissions I’m extending this to when 1.7 becomes available. I’ll put up a vote when I close the 1.7 world name vote.
It is simply a copy of the final score podcast icon. Hopefully I’ll have time to try and come up with some better ones.
I like the Idea form Trigger and Fred. I need to make some time and try a few ideas.
I also think that this could be a good icon:
😉
Here’s another, using in-game blocks.
Due to low submissions, I’m going to be using this for now:
