Smiley/Emoticon Redesign: Cooperative Member Involved Project (SERCMIP)

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


Those all look fantastic! Though I do like aboveboard's first eye roll option.

As for the white - I like it better than the yellow/orange on the light version of ATS. Much more clarity.

These I like. Though I am still partial to the old style. But I could see myself using these from time to time. Great work!

Awesome work, Furry!

My only humble suggestions would be to lose the circles around thumbs up/down and make surprised guy look a little more surprised...



ETA: Oh heck... why not go big!

i have a psd with all the different layers for everything on that. So making changes is as easy as turning on a layer or two and making an adjustment.

I extended the eyes out beyond the head a bit, per your suggestion. I like it.

I have not been following this thread about the emoticons in ATS but I am interested in knowing if we are allowed to use outside free emoticons and not the ones in ATS, I am having a very hard time trying to figure out what each of them represent, unless I highlight them to see what is what.

I don't think there is anything in the T&C prohibiting that. They are just little tiny images that express your thoughts. People have used external emoticons on this site for years. I don't expect that will stop.

I personally like the ease of use in having them displayed to the right of the post screen. Like anything else, it just takes a little getting used to.

However, I still like Rush, Led Zeppelin and Kansas and can't understand why anyone would listen to newer music.

Oh, and the new emots are not finalized yet, so give it a wait and see.

Well thanks for letting me know, I remember the old emoticons that we had before ATS took away the political board and blended with this one, they used to have their own set of emoticons too, I missed those too when they took them away, now I was a bit worry that they took the ones for this board and replaced them, I was so used to the old ones, I am glad that ATS is still working on this ones as they in green look like unfinished or something missing.

I will wait then for the end result I am sure they will look amazing, I apologized for not keeping up with the metamorphosis of ATS but I am getting used to.

hmmm...lets check out these...

I like very much the above little green faces you have suggested.

They have my vote!

hello....anything new here

I have 32 ready to go. I likely will contact SO over the weekend to figure out how he wants to get the .ttf file over to him. Today and Wednesday are all about making up for having to miss tomorrow at work for an out of town doctors appointment. Thur/Friday are big budget meeting days for 2014. By Saturday i will be so ready to get back to some artistic recreation.....

Once I get this done, I am going to do a rage face set. Honestly, I would LOVE to have the LOL face, or the Me Gusta face on here.

Well, good luck with your busy week....can't wait to see the finished product....thanks for all the work you've put into this....you guys rock!!!!!

Cal, I like your posts. I really do.

But those emoticons still bite. (No offense BFFT, just my opinion)

I'm still boycotting them.

Those you are replying to aren't the ones BFFT is working on. Read up a couple posts to see his.

reply to post by Zarniwoop


I was just disagreeing with Cal concerning the green/orange emoticons.

I do like the cleaner & simpler ones that BFFT is working on though. I could see myself using those.

Wow! I love these ones. Hey Skep, can we implement these emotes instead? I like the creativity. They're not your average emotes.

I wonder why they didnt give members a choice of styles before implementing one.

We had a 24-hour open beta-test where all members could access the nearly-completed website. The vast majority of input was very positive.

Emoticons??? What is this odd thing and what does it mean for future generations 2000 years from now? Rock inscribed?
Some of us missed the 24 hr. window. Although I like the size 6 script here in response, like a foghorn sound or microscopic introspection yu se the misspellings, but it turns to .0001 after final edit. Perhaps you are retraining the occular lens to suit your needs (how diabolical). What is the point with the cartoon facial expressions? You have no trust in your members to actually express situational TRUE FEELING content in their posts through words or complex sentence structure, a simple exclaimatory !! or !!!!!!--ZZZZZ--?????? or a the standard "ha ha ha got you sucka on that one"? The headaches are nearly gone, you have finally taken up shop space in my brain (and its free). Why are they wearing little green triangular hats (WITHOUT A FEATHER) ascance/jauntily to my right?

AI. You are such a suck up; but I love you for your audacity.

You realize by changing the hat color from green to orange now you have no choice/excuse but to add at least one balloon trailing backwards from the foreground. These guys need some serious shading effects as they read very flat.
