Hey guys, I'm sorry to say that Im going to close hellocolours down. The reason I'm doing this is because I feel that I don't have the passion for this community anymore. Furthermore, I think some(or maybe most) that followed me here joined for textured icons. I've pretty much lost interest in that aspect and would like to 'venture' into clean icons.
Also, with time constraints and all, I'm afraid I cant update this comm by myself.

Thank you guys for your support these months. I really appreciate it. I apologise deeply for any disappointment.

If you still would like to follow my work, you can do so at breathings

Love, Amanda :)

P.S. This comm will NOT be deleted, fyi.
P.P.S If anyone else would like to "take over" this comm, I would gladly give it to them :) Just comment!

Somebody turn the lights off.

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.

P.S. i'm gonna double-post, i guess :D

Hey watchers! I apologise for the lack of updates recently.
I've been thinking of joining a comm with other iconmakers as I dont think I can update a community frequently on my own, which kinda makes me feel guilty for letting my watchers down in way.
I've been accepted at breathings by airling, a wonderful friend of mine :D

So I need your opinion. Should I move COMPLETELY to breathings?

Please read carefully!!

Apparently there is a bit of nasty malware virus spreading through the social networking sites, including LiveJournal. It targets communities, generating a mod-ish looking post informing the membership that the community is being closed, and then deletes all the community's entries. The post includes a couple of links which, when clicked, will infect the clickee, compromising their personal info as well as their f-list. Good times! [NOT!]

So...please be aware that THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT CLOSING. If you see such a post, do NOT click any of the internal links. Please DO report the post to LJSupport by clicking the red flag icon or the "flag" link, depending upon your viewing option. This warning is site-wide, so please keep this in mind if you encounter strange so-called administrative messages on other communities of which you are a part.

Help!

lovelydecoy — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:13:48 GMT

I got this idea from lightened:
Maybe I should have a hellocolours star every month, the one who comments the most.
What do y'think?
Also, I think tariffs's idea is a very good one. Im not sure if I should do that too to get more watchers.

Any thoughts?

Pimp!

lovelydecoy — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 09:14:46 GMT

Please

1. watch Tariffs

2. leave a comment here saying I referred you

I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
