From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Turn that frown upside down!
Published on February 20, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Ok, we have a nice new forum look, but we still have the same old, tired smiley faces we've had for years.  Well, it's time for some new ones!  Instead of just going out to Google and searching for free smiley sets, we're turning to the community for help.  With so many outstanding graphic artists here, I'm betting we'll end up with some outstanding smileys.

Whoever submits the winning smiley set will receive a free ObjectDesktop subscription (or extension to their current sub), as well as having their art become a part of the site for the next several years.

Here are the details:

  • All smileys should be 24x24px
  • Individual smileys should be in .png format
  • You must be able to provide the original Photoshop/Corel/Fireworks/Whatever file used to create the images
  • You must, at a minimum, recreate all the smileys already on the site, plus the ones found here.  You are however free to make more.
  • All smileys should match/have a theme (no pink dinosaur smiley mixed in with a blue alien smiley)
  • For new smileys, suggest appropriate text representations

You have until Friday, March 7th to enter.  And entering is as simple as making a post on this thread with a preview shot of all of your smileys.  We'll pick the winners the following week.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  We're definitely in need of new smileys.

Edit: Updated the contest rules to require a few more smileys.  We are giving away an ODNT sub afterall...

actually the yellow smiley face started out in the late sixties early seventies. the internet smiley was pretty much modeled after that annoying little happyface from then.
though the internet smiley will be 26, the actual yellow happyface is much much older.
