Ahhh no, at this rate I'll never catch up.

Pretty good looking and 40 icons in a bronze set has to be good value in anyones book!

The style of Marsh-mellow Buzz.

Yet it is "chiseled in stone"

I agree...40 icon set is nice. Not really my preferred style, but nice. I wonder if they are planning a bunch of the buzz sets. They are useful icons, so having them in multiple styles will be nice.

Along with the Shanghai style, this one is weak.

I like it enough myself. Although I feel like it's more a candy than a stone. But I might just be hungry.

Eury, heh. You're so offensive sometimes :P
I like the sort of sparkly nature of this set :)

this is so similar to nuuk buzz except the background is dark.
as for never catching up, JBVisions, you are a vip and i am not. (but then i have more icons then you do right now. I am missing 12) You will eventually catch up.

While not my favorite, I think it's VERY different from nuuk buzz (which I am a fan of). Nuke is more vibrant colors, uneven...non-straight lines (like a kid drawing).

While these are the same basic icons, they are muted, straight, smooth, and have a shadow effect making them look 3d.

My apology for being critical. I think there was a vote a while back about which style was appealing and which one fell. Shanghai was the least and I think Manhattan was the most.

We could do a round of vote and update this data.

@eury: was Shanghai voted the least? That’s my favorite style, hehe. I think Oslo was the big dawg with Manhattan coming a close second.

I rather like the Buzz sets - in any style. They come across as the most viable for commercial use and are very practical for any website. This one has a nice, unique look amongst the others and I like seeing new styles generated by the chefs. Really shows their flexibility.

Tamashii: I wish I could link to the old forum, which one of the chefs said, as I recall, he would scale back from punch more shanghai. Taipei set was also mentioned, though not for the positive points.

Of course I appreciate the diversity of styles, showing "flexibility" that you heralded. I merely pointed out that the Buzz/Mello sets looked visually less impressive than the others. The new Acapulco is a bit more interesting---reminds me of bird-eye views to rat-maze construction sets or labyrinths.

And another new one: Acapulco System.
