Ok so when I look at icons and stuff I can depict what's grunge..or glamour.. or vintage...or punk.. yada yada yada! laugh.gif But I have these icons that I have found and was wondering if there was a certain "name" for them? Also hope this topic fits into this area, if not feel free to move it please! _smile.gif Here are some example of what I am talking about:
















If anyone does know what I'm taking about, do you have any sites related to this "design' ? Please and thank you!

Emo doesnt have to be dark or scary. It can look colorful and random looking.

No emo is 'darkscaryskullcutyourselfhairobangonthesidemyspace', not light and colorful.
It's more vintage/indie/popart.

THAT IS THE PERFECT WORD!

But, I still beg to differ. Emo=emotional=anything..well..emotional..sending off an emotional message.

Poptart is a brand of delicious pasteries which often get stuck in my toster-oven.[/sarcasm]

Popart = amazing. laugh.gif Art by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichnestein are two popular artists. Some googling will do it! _smile.gif

Oh and I didn't make those icons, but borders would make them look nicer and stand out more, eh? Good idea!! _smile.gif
