Yet only half of the add-ons hosted on AMO actually provide a custom icon; the others just use the default green puzzle piece.<\/p>\n<p>With Firefox 4, icons will become even more important as we allow for large <strike>128&#215;128<\/strike> 64&#215;64 pixel icons to really show off an add-on&#8217;s personality. To help get add-ons ready for this new focus on icons, we&#8217;re announcing an icon makeover contest!<\/p>\n<p>Developers can nominate their add-ons to receive an icon makeover, and the community will vote for the 5 add-ons to receive new icons custom designed by our graphic artist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2010\/07\/perfume.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2010\/07\/perfume.png\" alt=\"Add-on receiving a makeover\" height=\"250\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Contest Details<\/h3>\n<p>Only the developer of a Firefox 3.6-compatible add-on hosted on addons.mozilla.org can nominate their add-on for a new icon by submitting <a href=\"http:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/viewform?formkey=dHdHYjNoanJJdWM5RlJ3a1h2WWxETFE6MQ\">this form<\/a>. Add-ons are eligible to enter regardless of whether they currently have an icon.<\/p>\n<p>Nominations will be accepted until July 23, 2010 at 11:59:59pm Pacific. The contest will open for community voting on July 26, 2010 through an announcement on this blog and last until August 6, 2010 at 11:59:59pm Pacific. Winners will be announced the next week and will be contacted by our designer, who will work with you to create a custom icon for your add-on to be used on addons.mozilla.org and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Update: Firefox 4 will allow for icons up to 64&#215;64 pixels, not 128&#215;128 as originally reported.<br \/>\nWe look forward to your nominations. Stay tuned to this blog for details on how to vote for your favorite add-ons!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add-on Developers: Nominate your add-on for a custom icon makeover from our graphic designer!
