I made a whole bunch of icons from 2000ad about a decade ago (I've been through a few computers in the interim so I can't be certain) and I'm trying to continue the prog slog(1) I thought it would be interesting to compare how I used to do icons (extremely simply) and now (sometimes extremely complicated).
