... or maybe not quite, look again ...

updated A and D, added E.

also, I just noticed there's a :X smilie in the original PunBB set, so I guess one is required - I'm not sure what emotion it's supposed to express though, but I'm guessing a furious kind of anger? so here's four different alternatives for that, probably A or B is the best?

well, I'm out of ideas.

... if you had to choose between B and C then?

tried that too of course, just looks like a sick teething baby or something - didn´t post them, cause they were even worse than "the whale" wink

hm. I still think D looks incredibly stupid - it looks like the teeth in a whale's mouth, and/or an insane psycho killer ...

at least C would be better, it resembles :D more than any of the others.

I really like B best, it has a nice fresh "graffitti" look, matches the style of the other smilies better.

But could we at least agree to settle for C then? I really, really, really dislike D :/

@SEM: that :O smilie of yours looks too happy - look at the letter O, it's round, not tilted in any direction .. yours looks more like saying "OOH" than "OH". Also, animations: a big, resounding "NO" - animation draws attention from the information, which is bad. Also, it sounds like most of us are already happy with those particular two smilies? :)

a bigger problem is the :D smiley - if you can come up with a better teethy smiley, please do ... I can't think of other ways to do it, two teeth just makes him look like a three-year old baby ;)

but they are parallel? and he does look like an insane maniac psycho killer. A small, yellow insane maniac psycho killer, even - the worst kind.

anyhow, look again - I tried all possible variations of vertical lines, this one (D) works somewhat acceptably, but he still looks freaky. I would still vote B, but C would work for me also. hm?

well, the majority rules - too bad for me .. B it is then :)

posting two alternatives for :D ... go HERE again - A, B (hint, hint) or C?

What? I don't get to vote?? wink

alright, the GIFs are gone - please preview the entire set HERE from now on!

if only we could have a poll .. smile .. but I guess a manual poll will have to do, so please post your votes now for set A or B?

hm, well I don't like it, but if it top-left ligtning is absolutely a must, then I guess I'll try to find a way to make it look at least half-decent ... hmm

(btw, Rickard, why are img's translated to url's in quotes? is it a bug?)

113

(98 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)

... refresh and see the above GIF again - I agree, :D should be the teethy guy, but the previous :D smilie who was then orphaned, looked so happy and cute, I had to adopt him, so he's now known as Mr. :bliss: ... unless everyone thinks that's completely stupid, in which case I'll send him back on the road. People?

... hmm, actually - eyes pinched for :D is not right, is it? the big smile is right, but should his eyes be pinched?

Here's what I think. big_smile is a big smile. A big smile is a smile with the mouth open so that you can see the teeth. lol is laughing out loud. When I laugh out loud, I look like this:

http://www.mindplay.dk/lol.gif

yeah, some people have a tendency to turn completely yellow when they laugh wink

so your point is we should swap them?

so "colon D" becomes http://www.mindplay.dk/lol.gif

and ":lol:" becomes http://www.mindplay.dk/lol2.gif

or maybe both should just be http://www.mindplay.dk/lol.gif and then http://www.mindplay.dk/lol2.gif should not be used?

or what's your point? smile

@Rickard:

arced? you mean the upper lip should bend downwards? have you looked at a "D" lately? the emoticons are supposed to represent the mood implied by the original emoticons, I think? smile

I tried changing the light, but it makes them look very flat in comparison - placing the light like it is now gives them more volume, makes them look more round ... if you move the light, the face shape looks more like a disc than a ball - I wanted them to have a bit of a 3D feel, I think it works well?

@SEM: so we should preserve the previous teethy smiley as lol ? ... anyone else wanna comment on that?

122

Well, that was fast smile ... refresh for the updated GIF - I replaced the big_smile and yikes smilies - personally I think these look much nicer now, but I'll let the people rule - comments?

alright, people seem to be generally confused by the different :p and :P smilies, so let's go with the tongue version for both of them - I'll drop the :P cheeky smilie.

here's the set so far:

http://www.mindplay.dk/smilies.gif

I'll take another look at the :O smilie and drop the :P smilie, and post again in a bit...

good point. I'll try moving the light/shade around - I'll put up an alternative version tomorrow, then we'll see what the others think smile
