Spoiler: How to make an icon (so everyone can have a go)

Find your image on Google, I recommend using transparent search to avoid ugly background boxes which can be a hassle if you use this simple method:

​

Click the image of choice, then choose "View original image"

​

Check the image is transparent, I usually just quickly drag the image on to the nav-bar and if a white border appears, it's not transparent

As you can see, this one isn't transparent:



and this one is transparent:

​

Next, go to www.online-image-editor.com and paste the direct link you got from "View original image" in to the upload box:

​

You'll find a toolbar above your image, find the "Resize" tool and resize the image so it's no bigger than 32x32.

Have "Aspect ratio" ticked to avoid stretched/blurry icons

​

Apply this change and then right click the image and "copy image":

​

Go to www.imgur.com and hold Ctrl+V to upload the icon:

This step is important, as although you can get a direct link from the editor, they expire shortly.

​

Once uploaded, go back to your image on the editor and click "change colour" on the toolbar:

Select "Grayed":

​

Repeat the copy & imgur stages and you have both icons.
​

Submission stage lasts 1 week with the polling stage being shortly after with the 2 winners walking away with one of the following mini-ranks at random:

*The #1 voted will be the mini-rank with the #2 voted being the section icon​

Get submitting and make sure to check out the other mini-rank design contests!

On each submission please include a greyed out version so each design is eligible to be the section icon also.
