The girl who changed my icons was most apologetic and took down the icons she had customised straight away. She didn't really understand why I didn't want people customising my work so I gave her a quick explanation and offered to customise them for her if she wanted. I think it's all ok now :)

Good for you! It's always good to talk to the person; most people are reachable, I think.

Why don't you want your iconses altered, btw? I'm just curious!

:D

This is what I said to her

It's just personal preference. Some icon makers are happy for people to customise them and others aren't

I just feel that if people alter them they're not 100% my creation any more. It might seem silly but that's how I feel. I put a lot of work into making my icons and I don't like the idea of people changing them

Additional customisations don't take long and most people are happy for the icons to be textless

That's cool. Of course, if you had said "cause I say so!," that would have been fine too, they're your icons, hehehehe!

:D

Ah, that's great. :)
Now I'm curious how you explained that to her. I wouldn't know how to say it and be diplomatic at the same time, so I need all the help I can get.

Oh! I like that a lot! :)
Also, some people use horrid fonts and font colours for the text they put on icons, and that pisses me off - but I'm going to go with your version if the problem ever arises. :D

Yeah, I feel like it's a reflection on my if someone makes one of my icons look crappy

It is! I mean, people never write "icon by X, text put on by me" on it, they just credit you for the icon and everyone else will think you put that horrible font (or lame text) on it. ;)
