I'm taking them all to use as the need arises... and I think the need will arise alot! 11, 15 and 17 especially. The designs are lovely and they're easy to read which I really appreciate , WONDERFUL work!
I don't like icons where you have to squint too much to read the words -- what's the point, then? (which is why I very rarely care for the icons with that itty-bitty print on them that's artistic but always makes me feel like if I just had MICROSCOPE EYES or something I'd be able to figure out what it says.)
I wonder sometimes if people even notice some of the animated ones I've done for Mononoke, since I tend to set them on such slow cycles with long pauses between.
When I did a bunch of animated ones for Gundam 00, I used the trick I learned when timing length for short competition plays -- read each line aloud, at slow even pace. If I could read the line outloud once (or silently, twice) and then the frame changed, it was long enough. I tend to sight-read verrrry fast, so I did my best to adjust for folks who don't... and when a gif goes by so fast that even I get lost, I figure most folks just end up ignoring it rather than trying to keep up. What's the point, then?
