All the Seoni/Santa fuss shows us how much attention the iconics can garner. There are enough iconics that you could do one per month plus a "group photo."
Of course, it should be a swimsuit calendar. ;p
Twelve months, twelve iconics, Seltyiel is people too!
The Group photo could be just a centerfold image.
This is actually a very awesome idea! I second the notion for a PF Iconics Calendar!

We've had requests for calendars many times. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to happen, since calendars are self-destructing; once the year begins, it's increasingly hard to sell your back-stock, and keeping unsellable back-stock isn't a good way to do a business. I suspect this might be something that'd work better as a licensed thing, with some other company licensing our images to make a calendar, but even then that sounds like a long shot.
Could we just get a group picture because you love us then? All twelve iconics vs. a big bad, like a neothilid or the tarrasque, or a lovecraftian abberation. I adore the picture on the front of the last dungeon and always lament not being able to find bigger images of it on the web.

I'm sure that some day we'll do some sort of illo just like that. I'm sure of it!
Yay!
I feel like a gnome on five kilos of sugar with a whirlygig and a catchy song. Maybe some fireworks.
Thank you Master Jacobs.
I still think it would be a best-seller if it was a swimsuit calendar.

Pathfinder calendar well a fan made one anyway.
That one doesn't have Iconics - I used Butterfrog's artwork.
A computer desktop calendar might be a good way to go. No physical materials, no warehousing, no shipping, no leftover product.
Just an icon that brings up a full-sized wallpaper calendar with dates you can type notes into, maybe an alarm function, and a big old picture that can be set to randomly change each time the calendar is opened.
You could even have it updatable to add in new images regularly.
And it wouldn't be important to target the end of the year for producing this, since it can just start at any month you want it to.
And yes, you could tag the images and program the calendar to have SexyGirl, SexyBoy or General options if the user wants. :-)
I'd pay $15 for this. I'd even pay $20 if I had to.

I'd pay $15 (not 20, my corner of the planet is being hit pretty rough with the ugly economy stick). But then such calendar requires artists, and artists aren't free regardless of whether the calendar is physical or digital, so even a digital app might be a luxury Paizo can't afford unless either enough people are willing to pay for it, or it's customer apreciation day.
P.D: My vote is on a swimsuit calendar of course. =P
Well, my idea is that the calendar would only use pre-existing art. The artists would have to get paid again, of course, but that would be already factored into the profit point.
It might be worthwhile to mix in some submitted art as well... let people submit pieces to be evaluated for inclusion in the calendar, just as one would submit an article for publication. Of course, the artists wouldn't get the same kind of payment as the pros get.
The price would depend on whether it would be a "pay once, get lifetime updates free" or "pay once, pay another small fee for updates" or "pay annually."
The first option would be the most expensive in terms of what you pay now, but also the easiest for everybody.
