Time at which I deployed the new, custom designed category icons for Tea Leaves yesterday: 7:38 pm.
Time at which the first reader complained that I took away their favorite icon: 7:49 pm.
I love the little fruit-lover as much as the rest of you, but he’s not mine. I always felt a little guilty about my icons; they’re grabbed from all sorts of random places. I wanted something that would give the site a little more consistent feel. I commissioned Elise to design some replacements, and I’m really happy with the results.
However, for nostalgia’s sake, I have left the FF2000 as the miniature icon that should show up in bookmark lists, browser tabs, and the like.

I like the new ikons. Elise’s style is so exuberant.
In retrospect, whining was probably not the most constructive response to the icon change.
The new icons are lovely; I’m just sentimentally attached to the FF2000, which is kind of disturbing, now that I think about it.
I would just like to say that my blog-mate is clearly INSANE, since I adore your new icons. Love them.
