UPDATED 2014-11-08: We’re still missing a few icons! Take a look at what we have left.

UPDATED 2014-10-27: We’ve crossed off the achievement icons that we have received submissions for. You can still submit for any cheevo; we won’t make any decisions until after the deadline, but we thought we’d let you know what which ones still need submissions. Thanks for all your awesome artwork! Keep ’em coming!

Help create our achievement icons!

Much like last year, we want your help in creating our achievement icons. The ones from last year looked so great that we decided to keep the same format: plain white on the blue gradient background. If you feel the urge to throw in an accent colour, go for it. Below you will see the template background:
