A new Olympic sport and some team icons ^_^

Iconnage!!

So, myself and

chyrssalys accidentally invented a new sport for the Olympics, and I made an icon for myself to show my team membership. Then she asked for one, then someone else asked for one ... and then I went a lil crazy in Photoshop and made a few more for a couple of different countries.

Anyway! 2012 is fast approaching (and doesn't the £500,000 logo look like an abstract representation of Lisa Simpson giving a blow job?) so here are the icons for our proposed sport: Gareth Viewing!

You gain marks for maintaining composure and remaining in your seat. You lose them for squeeing, drooling, fainting or trying to molest him.

GB GONNA GET GOLD! We are the masters of restraint! *cough*

I made these for the main countries I've seen hanging around (or just happened to come across more often - sorry). I have saved a template for these, so if your coutnry's not here, just request and I shall make it for you.

lol these are so fun! I know GB competes as a team, but you should do him in a welsh flag, :)

I' loose at this sport badly, I met him a con and was completely composed. (not really.)

Then he had to go an move and talk and stuff, and I started with the nervous rambling.

Yeah I loose at Gareth viewing.

Don't be silly. The only thing you lose during the noble sport of Gareth Viewing is self-composure! ;)

Obviously, I love these. ;)

But I think yank determination will come through - we will get gold!

'Yank Determination'?

... isn't that an oxymoron? :-P

*falls over laughing* Sadly... it does.

Gareth Viewing sounds like the perfect sport. Even if I'd totally lose. lol But Oh what fun to do! :D

Definitely agree on the logo. Did you see the Armstrong & Miller parody? They're still on iPlayer, if you have access!

- Oh, cripes, as if the Logo wasn't horrid enough without that mental image to accompany it.

You. Are. Evil.

We are the masters of restraint!
- *Has to remind self that the event is Gareth Viewing, not Gareth Hogtying*

Also, I totally confused the Greek Icon for Scotland at first...disappointment ensued.

elanor12 on 8th November 2009 15:06 (UTC)

Hehe. Good Idea!

I was: "Yay! She made one for Canada!"
And then I was the other ones and: "YAAAYYYY!! She made one for Quebec!". But you should have used Quebec's flag, it's way more beautiful then the Canada one.

...ok. I shut up now. I know we're not a country, and our country is Canada, but we are a nation. Even our stupid PM Harper said it once.

Ok. I shut up for real now. :P

*grab icons*

Erm, I am curious about why you used CH for Chile when its official abbreviation is CL (CH is for Confoederatio Helvetica, Switzerland in English...)

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

a_silver_story on 8th November 2009 17:40 (UTC)

woops. I'll get that changed!

I knew CH was the abbreviation for *something* - should have checked! Sorry!

Can you make one for Brasil? I don't see many chances, specially with me on the team, hehe, I'm sure I won't behave if I see him, but I'll try my best.

frakkin_addict on 9th November 2009 23:39 (UTC)

These are sheer genius... as is most of your stuff, so I'm not surprised at all. ;)

The Wales one is particularly fine and I think, if you don't mind, that I'm going to snag (and credit) the Canada one.

Thanks!!!

candi_apple_red on 10th November 2009 07:34 (UTC)

Snagged and credited!

If we lose points for drooling, etc. does that mean we start with a higher degree of difficulty depending upon what he's wearing and/or doing at the time?

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

a_silver_story on 10th November 2009 08:53 (UTC)

For the first round, he's dressed as Gareth. All those who fail to maintain composure are eliminated.

For the second round, he's dressed as Ianto. All those who fail to maintain composure are, again, eliminated.

For the third round, he's totally naked wearing nothing but a UNIT cap and possibly a tie.

Whoever maintains the most control over their primal behaviours at this point are the winners - gold, silver and bronze.
