We were thrilled to hear last night that we’ve taken first place in the graphics category of the first annual Industry Standard Innovation 100 Awards! Along with such winners as Hulu, Mint, Kongregate, and Etsy, winning the TIS 100 award means we were nominated and then voted for by the community: readers, users, founders and executives from across the technology industry, and we’d like to thank all of you!

And today we heard we also won a silver medal in the W3 Award for the “Best Structure and Navigation for a Web Site”! Awesome.

And although it’s not an award as such (that is, it won’t be adding to the hardware on Jonathan’s filing cabinet), we’re thrilled to see Picnik included in Smashing Magazine’s list of Creative User Interfaces in Modern Web Design, “observing the finer aspects of creative and appealing user interface design”, and says:
