WordPress.com News 
When would we use the WordPress 2.7 version in WordPress.com? I know that it comes at the end of this month, but what is the exactly day?
December 4
if you’re in the U.S.
Now that’s what I’m talking about. Really neat icons 🙂
Well deserved. I can’t wait to see 2.7. Good job all.
Very good sets. That’s what I voted for. Good choice
Really great results! Thanks for the opportunity to help you and influence this project and thanks all designers for the superb work.
Wow…that’s really too close to make a decision in the business world. If democracy counted.
I’ve been in style decision meetings that close and we always ended up with the traditional tiebreaker: whichever design the boss preferred.
You’ve been in style decision meetings with 3700 people?
In all seriousness, I think our voting was very democratic: the popular vote had a clear winner (ask any pollster and they’ll tell you 35% to 29% is not a tie), and the judges agreed with the popular vote, so there were no complicated decisions to make.
Glad to see that there appeared to be a major consensus on the icons and metaphors.
I am very much looking forward to 2.7.
Congrats, I can’t wait to see the new icons in use! 🙂 Everyone did a wonderful job!
Wow! Awesome icons. Can’t wait for WP 2.7!
Cool appearance. I can’t wait for it.
Yeah! VS, VS,VS! ^^
My two favorites were by far VS and LS. To me they were not only visually comfortable, but they were also the most directly obvious to my eyes at a glance as to what they meant. That’s just my opinion though. Haha! Congrats to the winners! 🙂
Awesome! I’m Looking Foward For The New WP. 🙂
Wow i can wait for wordpress 2.7 tooly288 good luck its me heat672 forever.
wow, they all look really nice. I can’t wait to see them in action!
Nice sets of icon there… WP Rockss!!
Can’t wait till the new WP! Cool.
congratulation to the winner 😉
Yoohoo!!! Those were the two sets I voted for! Only, I picked VS as my number one and BD as my number two! Anyways, I’m happy and satisfied with the results! More power to WordPress!!!
congratulation to the winner.
Training me…..
Good idea and great icons
this is a good chance for us to gain more writers by letting them see the new stuffs from WP dashboard. i mean, the current dashboard has a simple effect. but with these icons… it will totally makeover everything. (i hope we still have the option to choose whether we want a iconless or w/ icons dashboard
I said 2 months ago:
“Some category icons will help more but …wow fast improvements!”
Now I see that realized……thanks a lot.
They’re all excellent, but I do think the right choice was made as the winner – congratulations everyone!
Oh, yeah, the winners icons are really the best 🙂 Cute
ms wells

Wow. They did it! Congratulations to you two!
I hope adding these icons wouldn’t slow down the WP dashboard. 🙂
Congratulations to the winners!
Very nice!
I like the “comments” item with a red balloon tip, makes new comments noticeable.
Really easy to work with and I have written some stuff that I’d love other bloggers to read. So far I’ve had little response. How do I make my blog more accessible, more ‘out there’?
I’m new to this , as is probably very apparent!
they all look really nice
