Okay then, as you all know by now, the Flag Hunt for 2012 officially ended last night. The first post of the topic has been updated with a list of participants and how many flags they found. A big congratulations goes out to Flames of Yagami and Wing Eye for being the only ones to find all the icons in this event!

I hope you all enjoyed this hunt. Our next community hunt event is roughly scheduled for the end of October. There are some big changes coming to Fringes in the next few months that make it difficult to say exactly when the next hunt will take place. We'll have to see how everything shapes up between now and then.

But now that the Flag Hunt is over, I'd like to hear some feedback from those of you that took part. What did you think of this year's new flag icons? How do you think they compared to the old icons? For reference, here's a same of the old and new, though these have achievement icon borders added.

That was a great hunt, I had a lot of fun :)
It's hard to say which flag icon I like better, they both look really good... But in all honesty, I do like the old icons a little better, its easier to see who is one the icon and it is a little easier to spot while quickly skimming the pages.

So after what you are saying, Wing Eye, you have spotted quickly the pages ? Taht's more impressive ! About the comparison between old and new icons I can't really tell as I was't here last year but for me they are all great :)

I know it sounds ironic when i say that the new icons are harder to find when this was the first time I found them all, but the old icons do stand out more, I just had more time to dedicate it this game.
Being more of a challenge can be a good thing about the new icons, its all in how you look at it.

Yes time is important in this hunt : and I was in a lack of time (and maybe motivation) to find more icons ! But two people have found them all so that's good for me too :) Congratulations again ! :happy_marle:

I think both styles of flag icons are great, however, I prefer the older ones also. They appear bolder and do seem to show up better to me when searching also. I think it's terrific that lots of other flags were added this year along with the USA and Canada ones. :)
