Fugue wrote: Good thinking Cynn, I like all your ideas there. Strangely, I also agree with Ledirlo, but emoticons are a necessary evil when words and tone can so often be misinterpreted.
My feelings are:
This is too close to this
The smile emoticon shouldn't show teeth, like the original "have a nice day" smiley.
This looks less like a tongue sticking out and more like someone bleeding from the mouth. Very disturbing. I bet you can do it better.
This is just a weird mouth-shape.
Keep it circular
What is this meant to mean anyway? Mouse over it and it says "Mr Green". Weird.
I agree with all of this!!!
I also wonder what this is... ...Is that the angry face?
Here are two angry ones I like from a friend's favorite site...
(sorry if that first one is offensive, bit I think it's funny )

Wow!! I didn't even know there was one!
Oh... I got all excited there, but now I've had a good look, it's almost exactly the same, apart from scion's one....
Now where's the smiley to express my lack of emotion......
.... ahh, there is is!

Missrobin, I very much like it.
It would have come in handy very recently.

How about an emoticon that raises one eyebrow à la ReinFugue. For those moments when you are trying to be clever.

Ok. Right now I'm just looking at color. Here are three blank templates I made.
I think I am going to go with the orange. I know it is not much of a change, but it goes best with the PSC logo.
*Edit: As I'm looking at this post, I'm thinking to myself that it might be fun to use all three. Orange for happy, blue for sad, gray for neutral.

The Dutch will appreciate that. (I think that's why the PSC logo has orange in it in the first place, right chrispis?)

Hey Cynn,
In graphics so small, clarity is going to be important, so contrast will be important. With black expression lines, you're going for a light template colour. For this reason, yellow may be better than orange. Grey could work but it would have to be lightened a lot more. Blue could work but I think it would look better on this site-scheme if you desaturated it some. Hard to tell for sure until you see 'em finished, of course.
...but hey, whatever you do, this is a site full of opinionated artists and you're bound to upset at least some of 'em.
My advice: To be on the safe side, maybe you should leave the full colour- scheme unchanged as much as possible and concentrate on the expressions?

P@u.. er.. I'll take them under advisement?
(I love that first one! It's so Calvin!)
Fugue, relax. I've done lots of smileys, and they'll work in a pretty broad spectrum of colors.

1: if they were b/w they'd be much better
2: if they were square too
3: they should not be cute
So basically they'd all be doubly customised for ME! Thanks, led...I didn't know you cared

Square emoticons?
Is that an example of "thinking outside the box", or just "thinking of a box"?
Cynn - okay honey, but don't say I didn't warn ya
