Fun fact about Newgrounds in case if ya'll don't know and if you are new here or have never used Newgrounds in the 2000s. DID YOU KNOW THAT, The icons for the voting system was actually Pico instead of a Tankman? Yeah, I'm serious! And it actually wasn't just Pico. There was Nene as the icon for art submissions and Darnell for the audio submissions while Pico is for games and movie submissions!
(From 2015)
(Both the Nene and Darnell ones I took a screenshot of are from the 2000s)
I've also got some older Pico icons too!
(Such as this from 2003. This has less detail in comparison to the one from 2015. Also, the 6th icon is different. (Pico looks lowkey uncanny, ngl but I still love how he's drawn :3)
(And I don't remember the year of this one. (It's from the 2000s tho). There are more details added though as you can see as that old 6th icon still remains. Also, the icons became low quality since the images has deteriorated over time. (That happens on the internet!) Although, the 2003 one survived more than this one which shocks me lol)
A friend of mine in the Pico fandom told me that she also found some icons of a Uberkid which we wondered if he was also a voting icon as well or just a sticker. (It's most likely a sticker :( )
But that's all I can show for now though. I find this very interesting and unique how other Pico characters get to be voting icons too split into different categories and I honestly think Newgrounds should bring back Pico and his gang as voting icons. Like, yeah, Tankman is cool. But man, I prefer Pico and his gang more!!
If anyone has more screenshots of stuff like this, comment down and tell me! :)
I'll see if I can find more using the Wayback Machine soon! (Speaking of, Wayback Machine was used to look up these old icons for me to take pics of.)
