this is a forgotten art of icons for web forums. people used to make matching sets of avatar plus signature picture [sig] and sometimes it was truly a work of art.
it's awesome to see the evolution in the design of these tiny little squares, from the simplest crops through the technicolor filters, light leaks, textures and effects to almost symbolic designs in pop art style.
you can truly see the difference in styles and all the immense creativity, effort and devotion of many evanescence fans from the past. i love it so much.
i'm trying to define certain design styles of the early phase, peak and late phase (s00n). these icons are of course in chaotic order for now.
this fashion was slowly dying after ev3 came out. i found some ev3 pieces but the majority is fallen/tod style.
this project is all saved from fanpop so i'm not sure who made them, but if i find out i will add the links to the authors!
