You asked for it, you got it!

Flamebate desperately needs a :gay: emoticon to celebrate the happy, carefree lifestyles of those attracted to others of their own gender.

It’s simple: Design a nice-looking emote and post it here. You have until Monday, Sept 14, 2009, at 4:00 p.m. (EST). The CZ team will determine the winner that same night and announce it here!

For this contest, we ask that you submit one entry per account. No trolling in this thread.

Our only guideline: It should look good. Transparent background, easily recognizable, doesn’t have to be animated or ridiculously huge or anything.

Fingerz suggested this: Log in to see images! to be one of our best emoticons, and it was custom-designed for Flamebate. If you can capture that spirit with a gay emote, you’ll do great!

The winner will receive:

• A 5BP prize

• 5BP to upload the actual emote, so they can go through the pride parade that is the emoticon approval process

• Eternal fabulousness

WHAT ABOUT E-PEEN™?

If this goes well, we may run a bigger contest to suggest/design new emotes, similar to the successful (no matter what some of you say) topic icon battle. If we run such a contest for Peen, the winner of this contest will retroactively receive it.

Finally, if there are sufficiently good runners-up in this contest, we may upload those and hand out bonus BP prizes. Thanks and good luck!
