Hello @SimGuruBChick how about adding this smilie if we love some post or content on the forum?

BobSkellington

LOLOL.



These are also super adorable and you could update the older ones.



Also, some Plumbob emoticons would be boss!

Also other llama things


Oh shoot. It says a 40x40 PNG and this isn't.

Well, if anyone has llama things, I'm liking them

I don't really expect it to happen but I would love to see all of the Yahoo smilies, including the hidden ones.

Just right click and save as:

https://messenger.yahoo.com/features/emoticons/

And yes you are allowed to use them on forums.

I’m not sure I fully understand what this project is. Are our emojis to be used as is or is the art team going to make professional versions of them? Are the new emojis going to be shrunk down to the size the emojis are on the forum right now? Are there rules for making emojis? Are there programs for making emojis we’re supposed to be using? Do they have to be pixel art or vector so they shrink down? Are we supposed to be recreating the entire emoji set or just suggesting some fun additions?

Even with some of my questions still up in the air, I tried making a couple and it was really fun, so I made a bunch. I’m posting this set as one image. They all exist as 40 x 40 PNGs, but it would be a pain to post them all individually and not worth it if I did this wrong. So, here’s one set:



For naming, I just use a row column method. The eyes change going down the rows and the mouths change going across the columns. I just named them by row column assignment. For example:


:wink_whistle:


:worry_horror:


:plain_squiggle:

[More to follow.]


Edit 1: More added to the set such as:


:sunglasses_thumbs_up:

Set of rainbow plumbobs. Naming is just bob + color:



:bob_red:, :bob_orange:, bob_yellow:, :bob_chartreuse: . . .bob_white

[Deleted User]

Alternate set of rainbow plumbobs:



You can use the same naming convention as above or reverse the order, as in :red_bob:, :orange_bob:, :yellow_bob: . . . :white_bob:

Rainbow Hearts



:heart_red:, :heart_orange:, :heart_yellow: . . . :heart_white:


Edit:

:double_heart:

Llamacorns




:llamacorn_red:, :llamacorn_orange:, :llamacorn_yellow: . . . :llamacorn_white:

Edit: I have to go back and redo these so they are on a transparent background. The flat image doesn't fit in with the shiny everything else, but maybe the flat version will shrink better, so it will be clearer. I'm still trying to decide between the two options:

Aliens
