I prefer E.
that stuff will rot your brain, believe me.
... 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"
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?
My vote: A
...
What? I don't get to vote??
alright, the GIFs are gone - please preview the entire set HERE from now on!
if only we could have a poll .. .. 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 ...
(btw, Rickard, why are img's translated to url's in quotes? is it a bug?)
... 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 the complete set then:
any remaining comments, anyone?
good, then we agree on something for once
Here's what I think. is a big smile. A big smile is a smile with the mouth open so that you can see the teeth. is laughing out loud. When I laugh out loud, I look like this:
yeah, some people have a tendency to turn completely yellow when they laugh
so your point is we should swap them?
so "colon D" becomes
and ":lol:" becomes
or maybe both should just be and then should not be used?
or what's your point?
hm, well it just doesn't look good -
see?
or this one?
maybe this one for ...
or is it too much?
@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?
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 ? ... anyone else wanna comment on that?
Well, that was fast ... refresh for the updated GIF - I replaced the and 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:
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
