Good yield from google, though is there much call for "I've just been smacked over the head with a stuffed ferret" smilies?

I'm sure we could find one, though, simply to justify having them.

that would be cool.

as far as the sad mac, we could just shrink it the correct size.

Easterhay, you really should come along to SmileyCon 2006. Experts agree that smileys are the way of the future and that within 10 years will make up more than half of our communication. With a smiley for every application, there would be no need for words at all. Food packaging, road signs, and instruction manuals will all be improved by this new wave in communication.

I agree with Fryke, actually. If the icons disappeared completely, I wouldn't miss them one bit.

i just knocked these up. tell me what you think. i kept them as close to being type based as possible, and use a subtle aqua effect.

I like the new angles (up for smiley, down for grumpy) and a radical improvement on what is currently available. But I think I still side with fryke - punctuation-based is best. Or perhaps a radically different approach is needed.
Sorry for pooh-pooing your creations, Lt Maj Burns. Methinks I should put forward some alternatives of my own!
