Hot on the heels of WalterCon 2006, a winner has been announced in the Haiku Icon Contest – as reported by IsComputerOn and OSNews. The contest, which we reported on back in August, seemed to be a big success – there were sixteen entries to vote on in total and the high quality of the submitted icon sets meant that the voting was certainly no easy choice. Now that the voting has ended, the winning icon set is: Stippi.. It does quite a nice job of reproducing the style of Be’s original R5 icons, and out of the submitted entries, it appears to be one of the clearest at small sizes.

Due to some confusion over the contest purpose, it should be noted that the winning icon set isn’t going to become the icon set for Haiku as-is. Rather, the winning set will be used as a guide/recommendation for creating the eventual Haiku icons (as described in the Haiku Wiki).
