The longest election season in memory is now over, and we wanted to help you unwind and express yourself as we head into the new era.

Make your own "Obamicon"—your image in a style inspired by Shepard Fairey's iconic poster. Regardless of your candidate of choice in the 2008 election, here's your chance to sound-off.

Visit Obamicon.me, take your picture with a webcam or upload a photo, choose your own message, and submit to the gallery. It's that simple. After you've finished creating, browse the gallery to rate and comment on other Obamicons. Create and visit often. Don't worry, we won't tell your boss.

For the record, my in-office productivity has dropped by a solid 15% since the birth of the Obamicon.

Can't seem to get registered on Obamicon, keep getting this msg when I try:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.
